What are the SACE specific capabilities?
All schools are already involved in developing young peoples’ general capabilities through the Australian Curriculum and SACE curriculum.
For senior secondary students, the SACE Board have developed specific capabilities in partnership with schools, further education and industry representatives. Emerging learning from national work and the SACE pilots have demonstrated there is a unique space for senior secondary capabilities, that align to the Australian Curriculum General Capabilities, that support better matching to the diversity of graduating students’ post-school pathways. We are piloting their formal recognition with schools across South Australia, the Northern Territory, and SACE International. We have also developed two new subjects Stage 1 Exploring Identities and Futures Stage 2 Activating Identities and Futures which provide greater opportunities for students to develop capabilities along with their subject learning.
