The Big Picture Program
The Big Picture Program, an initiative of Warrane College, introduces high school students (Years 10 and 11) to the world of professional work and tertiary education to empower them with the knowledge, skills and ideals they need to understand what it means, and what it takes, to build successful careers and fulfilling lives.
The program aims to instil in young people a sense of direction, seeking to explore and discover potential professions in which they feel their talents can best align with their passions and dreams, in order to make a positive contribution to society.
Beyond equipping students to make wise career decisions, the program aims to cultivate in young men an awareness of the bigger picture, extending to an understanding and sense of responsibility for society and their relationships with family and friends.

Famous quotes containing the words big, picture and/or program:
“Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don’t know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“We live in an age of reproduction. Most of what makes up our personal picture of the world we have never seen with our own eyes—or rather we have seen it with our own eyes, but not on the spot: our knowledge comes to us from a distance, we are tele- viewers, tele-hearers, tele-knowers.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
