In December 2001, the Home Economics Institute of
Australia published the resource Fashion for the Sun. Copies
were distributed through many divisions late December, early
January 2002. The resource provides great examples for units
of work and learning experiences that enable students to demonstrate
student learning outcomes from two key learning areas - Health
and Physical Education and Technology.
Fashion for the Sun was developed
to provide schools with support materials to provide a curriculum
that promotes clothing as sun protection.
Approximately 1200 Australians die of skin cancer
each year. An estimated one out of every two people who grow
up in
Australia are likely to develop some form of
skin cancer. Children and adolescents particularly, are at
great risk of damaging their skin through sun exposure.
