Ms Mia Galligan:

RSE needs to be taught a lot earlier, even into primary school, because the age range of girls getting their period is so different. Some girls can get their period at ten or 11 years old and some get it at 16 or 17 years old. When some girls are that young, it is such a scary thing if they do not know what is happening. It definitely needs to be talked about, and a lot earlier. Even among the first years, a lot of them did not know what a period was and some of them were 13 years old. We thought that was crazy. I did not do RSE until second or third year so it definitely needs to introduced into first year anyway.
