The development of educational packages on health‐related topics has become common in school curricula. This paper describes an integrated health and education input in the development of an educational package about asthma for Year 8 high school students. Ownership and educational relevance of the package (ensuring its appropriateness for inclusion within the Personal Development/Health/Physical Education curriculum) was achieved by collaboration between teachers with an understanding of the principles of curriculum design and health professionals with content knowledge about asthma. The model used for the production of the package about asthma could be extended to other health topics.
