Don College celebrated International Condom Day on February 14 to spread awareness and to remove the taboo status of young people’s contraceptive health. To break stigma around the subject of contraceptive health, both the Don College leadership group and the Community Service Cert 3 class ran activities such as how many oranges can fit in a condom (the record was broken by 29 oranges) to guess the amount of condoms in the jar.

Karen Slade stated, “it’s about awareness and it’s about stopping this taboo idea, so it was just a little bit of fun and a little bit of celebration.”

This year’s international condom day was a major success, many students and staff from around the college came together to spread awareness of the importance of not just contraceptive health but health in general.
