In 1999 we developed a skin education program for secondary schools which was distributed to all Victorian secondary schools and included:

* a teacher resource folder which contains information for teachers about common skin conditions, along with lesson plans and student activities; and

*  skin education booklets for students and their parents/guardians.

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