UNSW Warrane College - The Big Picture Program

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:

    After a big ship has rotted away, there still remain three thousand nails.
    Chinese proverb.

    Many people have an oversimplified picture of bonding that could be called the “epoxy” theory of relationships...if you don’t get properly “glued” to your babies at exactly the right time, which only occurs very soon after birth, then you will have missed your chance.
    Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)

    Worn down by the hoofs of millions of half-wild Texas cattle driven along it to the railheads in Kansas, the trail was a bare, brown, dusty strip hundreds of miles long, lined with the bleaching bones of longhorns and cow ponies. Here and there a broken-down chuck wagon or a small mound marking the grave of some cowhand buried by his partners “on the lone prairie” gave evidence to the hardships of the journey.
    —For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
