Learn how to recognise asthma symptoms, respond appropriately, and support students with confidence.

If you are a teacher, school staff member, carer or parent, it is important to have the knowledge and confidence to recognise symptoms, respond appropriately during an asthma flare-up or emergency, and better support students living with asthma.

By improving asthma awareness and preparedness, schools create safer and more supportive environments for every student.

Do Blue. Do You.

Do Blue. Do You. is a school initiative aimed at reducing the stigma, increasing asthma education and keeping everyone safe by asking students and teachers to “do blue” in their own unique way to raise awareness of asthma.

We want to help teach children to be inclusive and look after their classmates and friends with asthma.
