Big Life
A Big Life program is a collaboration between Warrnambool College, Brauer College, Grasmere Primary School Koroit & District Primary and Woodford 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)
