A Big Life
A Big Life Program
A Big Life program is a collaboration between Warrnambool College, Brauer College, Grasmere Primary School Koroit & District Primary, Woodford Primary School, Warrnambool West Primary School, Woolsthorpe Primary School and Merivale Primary School (collectively known as the Schools) and the Warrnambool Student Wellbeing Association.
The program is guided by and encourages students to lean into the 5 Big Life questions and themes associated, which are at the heart of personal development. These questions are:
- How do I relate to people who are different to me? (Living with difference)
- How can I love and be loved? (Relationships and sexuality)
- What is the meaning of life? (Spirituality and purposeful occupation)
- How do I make family work – even if I haven’t got one or don’t want mine? (Family in the 21st century)
- What do I do when bad things happen? (Grief and loss)
At Warrnambool College, Big Life works to build young people’s capacity to be resilient and safeguard their mental health and wellbeing.
