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:
“Everything our children hear, see, and feel is recorded onto a cassette. Guess who is the big star in their movie? You are. What you say and, more important, what you do, is recorded there for them to replay over and over again. We all have videocassettes. Adults just have larger libraries of tapes available.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“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)
“Having behind us the producing masses of this nation and the world, supported by the commercial interests, the labor interests, and the toilers everywhere, we will answer their demand for a gold standard by saying to them: You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.”
—Administration in the State of Neva, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
