I think it would be invaluable for High Schools to introduce knowledge about PSA Testing to year 10, 11, 12 boys as part of their Personal Development Health Physical Education classes. They may even teach their Dad a thing or two when they get home, as there's still men in Australia unaware of Prostate Cancer. Conversations create awareness. Awareness saves lives.

I emailed Prue Car - Deputy Premier, Minister for Education and Early Learning, with my suggestion about introducing Prostate Cancer & PSA testing to High Schools education curriculum through PDHPE to influence young men with valuable education and behavioural changes to begin talking about their futures, Prostate Cancer and Mental Health, encouraging them to relay their educational learning to their family, to improve their parents knowledge and health confidence.
