Big Picture Academy

The Big Picture Design for Learning is based on research that shows that we learn best when we are personally motivated.  Putting students at the centre of decisions around what, how and when they learn is the key to nurturing the next generations of engaged, independent learners.

While each student is unique with their own set of passions and capabilities, they are not alone.  They are supported by a network of peers, advisory teachers, expert mentors and family.

At Melrose High School, Big Picture is an opportunity for students from Years 7 to 10 to empower themselves as learners.  Big Picture students learn in small groups of 17, known as an ‘advisory’, where there is a culture of belonging, support, and respect.  Each advisory is guided by an Advisor who supports them through engaging with the Big Picture Learning Cycle. Our Advisors work closely as a team to continuously improve student work habits, skill building, and learning.
