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.

Healing with the Heelers
“I had someone who works in foster care say, ‘This show is probably the only example that some kids have of a functioning family,’” says Melanie Zanetti, better known as the voice of Bluey’s mum Chilli on what is arguably Australia’s most successful TV show.
With the Heeler family set to unleash their biggest episode yet, we had a chinwag with Zanetti, plus Bluey’s executive producer Daley Pearson, about their favourite episodes, the healing power of play, and the little dog’s quest to take over the world from Brisbane, one heart at a time.
