Sir Clifford Skeggs' Grandson recommends Big Picture Learning
What does James Skeggs say about Big Picture Learning?
I attended Big Picture Learning for three years. It changed my attitude from hating school to getting the most out of it. As a result of this new attitude I became deputy head boy at John McGlashan College and took on numerous leadership roles. My S-Coach taught me a goal and organisation system that allowed me to balance my school work with all my extra-curricular activities and get the results I wanted. I'm now getting A's at University because of the skills I learnt at Big Picture Learning. |

What does Alex Salis say about Big Picture Learning?
My S-Coach gave me a better understanding of the NCEA system and what was required from me to get the results I want.
For example, my English results went from mainly achieved in Year 11 to all Excellence in Year 13.
I learnt how to study efficiently and even how to enjoy study.
My S-Coach gave me the motivation and support to achieve my goals and strive to be dux.
I enjoyed going each week because it was a relaxed, caring environment.
In 2010 Alex was top in: English, Statistics, Geography, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
