Through the development of an online program, Big Life Lessons, that addresses key values, personal qualities and life skills, The Big Life Channel works in conjunction with the Australian Student Wellbeing Framework to “provide each and every student with the strongest foundation possible for them to reach their aspirations in learning and in life” (Australian Student Wellbeing Framework).
