SACE Stage 2 Workplace Practices case studies
SACE Stage 2 Workplace Practices · Put your knowledge to work in context.
Workplace Practices is a Stage 2 subject listed in the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) curriculum, administered by the SACE Board of South Australia. It sits within the Stage 2 suite of subjects that students typically undertake in their final year of senior secondary schooling, and it is one of several subjects that can contribute towards the 200 credits needed to achieve the SACE. The subject is aimed at students who want to connect their learning to workplaces and to the practices, expectations and responsibilities that shape them, making it relevant to those considering employment, traineeships, apprenticeships or further study after school. Assessment in Stage 2 subjects generally combines school-based assessment, which is quality assured through moderation, with external assessment, and the SACE Board publishes a subject outline, performance standards and learning and assessment plans for each Stage 2 subject. The SACE Stage 2 Workplace Practices case studies are 5 cases and about 2,758 words.
