Focus of Learning

Each student will show evidence of learning against some of the learning requirements described in a selected SACE Stage 2 subject, and will also demonstrate learning through a community application activity that is based on the selected subject. This allows the student to participate in the chosen subject learning experiences, whilst developing their own Community Connection linked to the subject. Students convert their subject of interest to a Community Connection program of learning within one of the following fields of study:

• Humanities and Social Sciences Connections - 2HSC20
• Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Connections – 2STC20
• Interdisciplinary Connections – 2IDC20

Students are eligible to undertake enrolment in all of the fields of study for SACE completion.
