Stage 2
Subject outline

Assessment Type 1: Folio (50%)

For a 20‑credit subject, students should provide evidence of learning from the completion of at least four tasks.

Students collect evidence that shows specific learning requirements from the selected Stage 2 subject, and addresses their development of:

  • knowledge and concepts related to the selected SACE Stage 2 subject
  • specific skills related to the SACE Stage 2 subject.

These tasks may be those that were designed to elicit evidence of learning in the selected subject (e.g. skills and application tasks in the mathematics or science subjects). Alternatively, the teacher may design a task specifically to elicit particular evidence of learning from the selected subject.

Students can submit a combination of written, oral, or multimodal evidence.

As a set, the tasks for this assessment type must show evidence of students’ learning in relation to the following assessment design criteria:

  • Knowledge and Understanding (KU1, KU2).

Assessment Type 2: Reflection (20%)

For a 20‑credit subject the reflection should be up to a maximum of 1500 words if written or a maximum of 9 minutes of oral, or the equivalent in multimodal form.

Students:

  • reflect on the development of knowledge, concepts, skills and new understandings related to the selected Stage 2 subject
  • reflect on the development of their planning, organisational, problem solving and decision‑making skills through their community application activity
  • consider the development of their selected SACE capability using evidence of actions taken.

The reflection may be written, oral, and/or multimodal. 

For this assessment type, students provide evidence of their learning in relation to the following assessment design criteria:

  • Reflection and Consideration (RC1, RC2, RC3).
