Activating Identities and Futures engages students to take greater ownership and agency over their learning as they select relevant strategies to explore, create and/or plan to progress an area of personal interest towards a learning output. Students develop the skills to ‘learn how to learn’ and strategies to ‘know what to do when you don’t know what to do’.

Students explore ideas related to an area of personal interest through a process of self-directed inquiry. They draw on knowledge, skills and capabilities developed throughout their education that they can apply in this new context and select relevant strategies to progress the learning to a resolution. The subject was developed by the SACE Board working with schools to pilot and evaluate this new subject with students before the wider implementation of the subject.
