Being back in the classroom post lockdowns has brought a new set of challenges for our educators.
Resilience is low, anxieties are high and attendance is extremely inconsistent.

It’s more important than ever to empower our educators with skills, knowledge and strategies to support their students with these new challenges we are all facing.

"Doona Days" 🛌 Days where your mental health is

"Doona Days" 🛌 Days where your mental health isn't at it's best, even getting up seems like a mission so you choose to listen to what your body, mind and soul needs and stay in bed. Also commonly referred to as a 'Mental Health Day' 🧠⁠
⁠
Doona days are normal! In fact, they necessary! If you feel physically sick you take the day to slow down and recover, the same should be done for your mental health. Just because we can't see it, doesn't mean we shouldn't take it seriously.⁠
⁠
So the next time your mind is telling you that you need a doona day, listen to it! Taking care of our mental heath needs to be a priority ✨⁠

If we asked you what areas of your life do you need to pay more attention to, would you be able to answer specifically?

This activity allows young people to check in with themselves and assess how individual areas of their life are going for them right now.

Sometimes it's confronting and sometimes it's super reassuring to see our efforts in certain parts of our life paying off!

When was the last time you checked in with yourself?

The Complete Big Sister Experience is an ongoing experience for High School girls and gender diverse students that begins with exploring self and builds on this foundation by exploring connections to others and exploring health.

This is the new delivery of our high school program and we believe it will provide a more meaningful and impactful experience. Each workshop buildings on the last and creates a holistic approach to wellbeing and life education.

Deliver the complete experience over a term, a year or even over three years to ensure your school is providing wellbeing in a way that supports our young people in the areas they need it most.

What a beyond brilliant time we had on Tuesday at

What a beyond brilliant time we had on Tuesday at Norwood Secondary College visiting the Year 9 and Year 10 students again after working with them last term.⁠
⁠
This was also a special workshop in The Big Sister Experience's books as we were able to have the whole team together! ⁠
⁠
We are excited to be welcoming Marimba, Charlotte and Georgia to the team as facilitators ✨Their warmth, stories and passion for the program make them the perfect additions to The Big Sister Experience team. ⁠
⁠
You will definitely be seeing their faces popping up more frequently on our socials and in our workshops so make sure you say hello 👋🏽⁠
⁠
That being said, this week we do say farewell to Molly as a full-time facilitator. So it has been a very big week indeed!⁠

Today is a special day… it’s Kritz’s birthda

Today is a special day… it’s Kritz’s birthday!! 🤩✨🙌💖

Kritz has always been the powerhouse behind The Big Sister Experience - but 2022 has been an exceptional one for the business… and we thought Kritz needed a shout out today in recognition of the key role she played in that! 📣

It’s crazy to think that this time 12 months ago we in Melbourne were in lockdown… The Big Sister Experience couldn’t get into schools in front of students at a time we were most needed. Fast forward a few months and schools reopened and funding was available to support well-being programs like ours and schools were genuinely reaching out for help to support students readapt after 2 years of chaos… by this time, I was on maternity leave 🤰 and although she had the incredible support from Molly as her right hand woman, Kritz was heading up a business through unchartered waters and an intense growth phase - alone. A business that was co created with two people. Designed to run with two people sharing the load, conferring on decisions, brainstorming, problem solving and growing - together. The Big Sister Experience was born out of us two sisters knowing we could make a difference and wanting to create that difference TOGETHER. 👯‍♀️

There is no perfect time to take leave, but it is undeniable that my leave was at the most inconvenient time to the business, a time we never would have know was going to be such an intense time of growth, change and intense BUSY-NESS!! 🫠

Kritz stepped up to her leadership role with courage, determination and a fire 🔥 in her belly - still while being an incredibly supportive sister (and Aunty). There is zero doubt in my mind that The Big Sister Experience is here today with a team of 5, a whole new range of offerings, and a fully booked term, because of the hard work that Kritz has put in… 🙌💪👏👏👏

and although I regularly show my gratitude and love for her, today I want to acknowledge and thank her publicly!!

Kritz - you are truly an amazing human who I’m so lucky to call my business partner, best friend, sister and soul mate… THANK you for all you do and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You truly deserve the most special of celebrations! ✨💖🥰 Bianca xx

Without a doubt, one of our favourite activities to do at a school workshop ✨⁠
⁠
The Gifts I See In You is a great opportunity to connect with those who mean a lot to you and share the things that you are grateful for in their friendship/relationship. ⁠
⁠
In this busy world we find ourselves in, sometimes we forget to truly appreciate what makes the people around us so special. If you haven't tried this already, we encourage you to share the gifts you see in someone this week or next time you see they're not having the best day.⁠

Talking about what you do and don’t want and res

Talking about what you do and don’t want and respecting someone else’s boudnaries doesn’t have to be serious, scary or awkward. Consenting and asking for consent means that everyone is being clear about their wants and needs.

Having these conversations with your young person sends the message that they can come to you for relieable, non-judgemental information. It’s really important to be having these conversations around consent and boundaries with your young person so they have a clear understanding of what it means for them and they feel confident in using their voice.

We start teaching consent in our workshops at a primary level and continue it all the way through to Year 12! If you’d like to know more, head to the link in our bio.

When we are constantly facing phrases such as "Pos

When we are constantly facing phrases such as "Positive Vibes Only" it can be extremely difficult to sit in unpleasant emotions. ⁠
⁠
The pressures we face as educators, parents and students are already exorbitant without an added layer of needing to be happy all of the time.⁠
⁠
At The Big Sister Experience, we preach the importance of being able to check in with yourself and recognise it is ok if you are not feeling 100% happy.⁠
⁠
As Term 3 begins, we want to remind you all that you don't need to constantly have positive vibes if that isn't what you're truly feeling. So, enjoy what each day brings you, continue practicing gratitude, but also don't neglect those unpleasant emotions if they do appear. ⁠

Term 3 let’s do this 💪

We love educators who are just as passionate as we are about the work we do. Mel even took Kritz’s jumper and wants to join the crew 😂🤩

It was a pleasure returning to Surfcoast Secondary College today to work with their year 9 girls and young people talking all things consent, romantic relationships and safer sex!

An amazing start to a busy and exciting term ahead 👏👏
