Kalamunda SHS alumna and 2016 school dux, Allira Payne returned to the school in Week 2 to speak to a Year 11 Human Biology ATAR class. Allira is a Pharmacy Intern at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and is piloting a new sexual health workshop targeted at senior high school students. Allira spoke about the emergency contraceptive pill; how and where it can be accessed by young people when needed; and how the emergency contraceptive pill works in the body. The Year 11 class were welcoming and attentive and everyone, including the school nurse, learned something.
