SACE Stage 2 Integrated Learning case studies
SACE Stage 2 Integrated Learning · Put your knowledge to work in context.
Integrated Learning is one of the Stage 2 subjects listed in the SACE Board's subject catalogue. It is cross-disciplinary: instead of studying a single discipline in depth, students build a program of learning around a practical activity or area of personal interest, and are assessed on how well they plan, carry out and evaluate that work and connect it to wider knowledge and skills. The SACE Stage 2 Integrated Learning case studies are 5 cases and about 2,285 words.
