Big Picture Education Australia is a not-for-profit network of educators implementing a distinctive design for schools in a range of different community settings
Our purpose is to influence vital changes in education.
Our motivation is that too many of our young people are not achieving their potential. Many are not engaged in school learning and some do not complete school.
BPEA is supported by philanthropy, government, project partnerships, network membership and payment for services.
One student at a time, in a community of learners.
The BPEA Foundation Program is on again. This program will run as a week long program late in the year to cater for schools and participants planning to implement the design or to train staff to undertake employment within an already established Big Picture context in the new school year.
