SACE Stage 2 Activating Identities and Futures study plan

SACE Stage 2 Activating Identities and Futures · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Activating Identities and Futures (school-assessed; content domains not enumerated in source)

Map the full scope of Domain 1 by listing every assessable component named in the school's subject outline, including the personal identity and futures planning requirements.
Establish a working definition of 'activating identities and futures' in your own words, then check it against the official performance standards.
Create a physical or digital evidence folder with labelled sections for each Domain 1 component.
Identify the school-assessed weighting for Domain 1 and convert it into a weekly time allocation.

A one-page scope map of Domain 1 with every component, its weighting, and its evidence type.

Week 2

Draft a personal identity profile covering values, strengths, interests, and influences, then annotate each entry with how it connects to future pathways.
Collect three sources of feedback (teacher, peer, family member) on the draft profile and record the responses verbatim.
Revise the profile to incorporate at least two pieces of feedback and note what changed and why.
Set three specific, measurable short-term goals that link your identity profile to a future direction.

A revised identity profile with a feedback log showing at least two documented revisions.

Week 3

Research three post-school pathways relevant to your profile, recording entry requirements, costs, and timelines for each.
Interview one person working in a field related to your intended pathway and write up the key insights.
Compare the three pathways against your identity profile and justify which one you are prioritising.
Begin a reflective journal entry that links your pathway research to the Domain 2 unspecified requirements, noting any gaps in the school's published information.

A pathway comparison table plus a 300-word justification of your chosen direction.

Week 4

Draft an action plan with milestones, resources needed, and potential obstacles for your chosen pathway.
Identify at least two contingencies if the primary pathway is unavailable.
Clarify with your teacher exactly what Domain 2 requires, since the source does not enumerate its content, and document the answer.
Review weeks 1-3 evidence against the performance standards and flag any missing pieces.

A complete action plan with contingencies and a written record of the clarified Domain 2 requirements.

Week 5

Execute one concrete action from your plan (for example, a course enquiry, a volunteer shift, or a skills workshop) and record what happened.
Analyse the outcome of that action against your expectations and adjust the plan accordingly.
Collect evidence for the Domain 2 component as directed by your teacher, filing it in the evidence folder.
Write a reflective entry that connects the action outcome to your identity profile and future goals.

An action log with photographic or written evidence plus a 250-word reflection on the outcome.

Week 6

Assemble a full draft of the Domain 1 assessment piece, structuring it around the performance standards.
Cross-check the draft against every criterion and annotate where each is met.
Complete any outstanding Domain 2 evidence and integrate it into the draft where relevant.
Self-assess the draft using the official rubric and assign a provisional grade with justification.

A complete annotated draft with a self-assessment against the rubric.

Week 7

A revised final draft with a change log and a timed rehearsal record.

Week 8

Finalise and submit the Domain 1 assessment piece in the required format.
Verify that all Domain 2 evidence is complete and correctly filed.
Conduct a final review of the evidence folder against the checklist and close any gaps.
Write a brief post-submission reflection identifying what you would do differently and what skills you developed.

Submitted assessment, complete evidence folder, and a one-page post-submission reflection.

Week 2: Identity profile drafted and at least two pieces of external feedback recorded.

Week 4: Action plan complete with contingencies, and Domain 2 requirements confirmed in writing with the teacher.

Week 6: Full annotated draft of the Domain 1 assessment completed and self-assessed against the rubric.

Week 8: Assessment submitted, evidence folder verified against the checklist, and post-submission reflection written.
