Big Picture Academy

Big Picture learning enables young people with varied learning styles to enjoy agency over their learning, harness their potential, build supportive relationships, and excel. Guyra Central School offers two learning options in secondary, mainstream classes and Big Picture learning.

The Big Picture philosophy is: ‘One student at a time in a community of learners’.

The design

The Big Picture design for learning is based on research that shows that we learn best when we are personally motivated. Putting students at the center of decisions around what, how and when they learn is the key to nurturing the next generations of engaged, independent learners.

While each student is unique with their own set of passions and capabilities, they are not alone. They are supported by a network of peers, advisory teachers, expert mentors and family.

We prepare students for opportunities beyond school with an emphasis on relevance and real-world learning. Our students combine academic work with regular learning on internships and courses outside school. This approach is stimulating ideas for future careers, building networks, and equipping students with skills and qualifications that will put them a step ahead upon graduation.

Big Picture is an option for students of all abilities, from Years 7-12.

As a parent I couldn't be happier with the opportunities and pathway that the Big Picture program provided for my child. It gave him a chance to work on projects that were interesting and exciting for him and made him really enthusiastic about school and learning. The program also keeps you involved as a parent in your child's education which I really appreciated — a parent of Guyra Central School
