Term 1 has come and gone already!

Term 1 has flown by, and already we’re reflecting on just how much has been packed into these past few months. Across schools, staff rooms, parent gatherings and classrooms, we’ve had the privilege of sitting at the table with young people and the communities that surround them. The goal? Creating space for honest, thoughtful, and hope-filled conversations about sex, relationships, and faith. Every term brings its own stories, but this one has been particularly rich. Here’s a glimpse into what Term 1 looked like at Big Kids’ Table… Heathdale Christian College Secondary, Werribee Across February and March this year, the Big Kids’ Table team had the privilege of spending time with the secondary students, staff,

What the Adolescence Netflix Series Gets Right (and Wrong) About Christian Sex Education

Judging the Manosphere Louis Theroux’s latest documentary, Inside the Manosphere on Netflix, provokes strong reactions. It is confronting, unsettling, and at times difficult to sit with. For clarity, the Manosphere is a network of online communities where men discuss issues related to masculinity, gender roles, and relationships, however it’s well known for toxic, misogynistic opinions on these matters. For many viewers of the documentary, anger feels like the most immediate and justified response. The ideas circulating within the Manosphere can feel harmful and deeply at odds with the kind of world we want to build and definitely against who Jesus is , who calls us to a radically different way of relating to others marked

When Students Lead the Way Towards Real Change ✨

Last week, our team had the privilege of holding space for big, hope-filled, educating conversations at Chairo Christian College (Drouin campus) and Plenty Valley Christian College Primary (PVCC). At these events, God did what He does best! ✊🏼 Yr 9s at Chairo Drouin: We spent the full day with Year 9 students diving deep into topics that matter: But the day didn’t end there. We finished by facilitating a “Change Project” — where students reflected on everything they’d learned and asked: What does God say about this?How can I make a positive, God-focused change in my community, classroom, and relationships? We wrapped up by celebrating God’s good vision for sex, and the radical hope we

Who’s raising our boys? A Christian response to Netflix’s new show Adolescence.

Netflix’s new show Adolescence racked up 66.3 million views in two weeks and is causing robust conversation amongst adults and young people across the globe. The series focuses on the impact of the ‘manosphere’ on a young boy and the role of parents needing to be stronger. However, we believe there are three discussions missing from this: The reality is that pornography is a social norm and sold as a boy’s rite of passage in our broader culture. This toxic permission is rewiring their brains to see violent sex as standard. With this in mind, let’s get a crash course on the stats: This means that the messages and values that pornography holds – ones
