Testimonials from The Big Sister Experience

  • You made us feel like it was a safe environment and we wouldn’t be judged or anything. I learnt that it’s good to love yourself. And if you want to say no to something, you can.

    Claire, Year 8 Student

  • The workshop was very relatable considering most of us had been in the situations depicted in front of us. It was great that we could have our say, contribute and listen to what Bianca and Kritz were saying in a judgement free environment

    Jesse, Year 7 Student

  • The Big sisters allow girls like myself to feel comfortable in asking questions & seeking advice. For me it was asking questions I wouldn’t particularly feel comfortable asking my mum. These girls are so friendly, super approachable and just purely amazing!

    Sciantel, Year 12 Student

  • As a year 6 coordinator I was so excited to come across The Big Sister Experience as it is so needed in schools state wide. After meeting with Kritz and Bianca, their professional and enthusiastic nature made me feel confident they were the perfect teachers to deliver such a program. The Big Sister program was such a highly beneficial workshop for our students and really got them involved while they were learning. Having been a teacher for 10 years, and seeing the gap in general life skills within the curriculum, I can say this program is vital for all students wellbeing, safety and transition to high school. We can’t wait to have the Big Sisters back to deliver their program to the Year 6 cohort each year!

    Hannah, Year 6 Coordinator

  • As the Year 8 coordinator I believe it should be part of the curriculum from day dot… these really simple messages get overlooked. Are parents meant to be teaching this, are teachers meant to be teaching this, where are they learning these types of things? There is a great need for this kind of ethical and moral guidance. The messages really resonated, they were relevant, and the girls actually enjoyed themselves, they were really engaged!

    Matt, Year 8 Coordinator
