In 2002 we developed a skin education program for primary schools which will be distributed to all Victorian primary schools in 2003 and includes:

* a resource book which contains information on common skin conditions plus lesson plans and activities;

* information cards about common skin conditions for use by students; and

* posters highlighting important information about common skin conditions.

Information from the cards can be found using the links provided. It will help children and their parents / guardians understand common skin conditions, how to go about treating them and where to seek advice.
