Free Period Products
We are aware now more than ever that some families will be finding it difficult to access period products. HEY GIRLS are a charity that work closely with the school and they provide free sanitary products to our pupils.

Please e-mail Miss Higgins if you would like to benefit from the free period products: gw10higginsnicola@glow.ea.glasgow.sch.uk
