Community Connections

Overview Part 1

Overview

Community Connections is a 10-credit subject or a 20-credit subject at Stage 2.

Community Connections provides opportunities for success to students who have an interest in a particular SACE Stage 2 subject, but who choose to demonstrate their learning in alternate ways or through a personal connection with the subject area.

The subject values the student’s interests and strengths, enables curiosity, and empowers them to become independent self-directed learners who are willing to try different approaches in different contexts, and discover new ways of thinking and learning.

School and external assessment materials for Stage 2 Community Connections will be submitted for online moderation and online marking using school assessment results sheets in Schools Online.
