Students will hear from a specially-trained guest speaker who has experienced homelessness and subsequently found employment at The Big Issue. Students will also participate in a tower-building game to learn about homelessness and marginalisation in Australia. Each student who attends one of our face-to-face workshops will receive a Big Issue sticker sheet. Teachers will receive a complimentary copy of The Big Issue magazine and access to our follow-up classroom resources.

The 2024 Kids Cover Competition
We have a winner! This year’s Kids Cover Competition received a record number of entries, and our absolute fave was designed by 12-year-old Frankie Kelly from Newcastle: a sunny, funny vision of Santa’s summer holidays. “I thought it would be really cool to combine the Australian lifestyle with Christmas, to create a scene on the beach,” she says of her stunning artwork. “I’m really into pop art and really bright and colourful pieces, and I wanted to use a few different mediums.”
