Since 2019 Big Picture Learning Australia has partnered with Melbourne Metrics to develop a trusted credential that is designed to be used instead of the ATAR state-based senior secondary certificates (eg HSC, VCE) to showcase the attainments and qualities of Big Picture graduates. The new system is based on rigorous assessment of complex capabilities and will provide better tools for universities and other recruiters and selectors to recognise and trust the capabilities of Big Picture graduates.
Big Picture Learning Australia has a 15-year track record of implementing an innovative design for learning and schools in a range of urban, regional and remote settings around Australia. At the heart of the design is a departure from traditional ‘appointment learning’ where everyone learns the same things according to a fixed timetable inside the four walls of a school. Big Picture uses personalised, passion-based learning as the key to modernising education and preparing young people uncommonly well for successful futures. They nurture creativity, curiosity and independence.
