In 2015 the NSW Department of Education initiated an evaluation of the implementation of Big Picture Education Australia (BPEA) philosophy and design at Cooks Hill Campus of Newcastle High School.

The research was undertaken by School Policy and Information Management Unit, Learning & Business Systems Directorate, NSW Department of Education.

Key findings were that students, parents and teachers were very supportive of the education provided at Cooks Hill Campus.
