Year 10 Cross-Disciplinary Studies

About this Learning Area

Learning Area Leader: Ruth Denton

There are two compulsory Cross-Disciplinary Studies courses and a number of elective options. These courses are designed to develop student capabilities in a variety of key areas to assist in their development as independent learners to achieve lifelong learning and success.

The two compulsory courses for completing the SACE are Exploring Identities and Futures (EIF) and Activating Identities and Futures (AIF). EIF supports students to learn more about themselves and explore their aspirations and future. It is completed in one semester in Year 10. Students must also complete 10 credits of Stage 2 AIF with at least a C grade or better to gain their SACE. Students explore ideas related to an area of personal interest through a process of self-directed inquiry.

Elective Courses include Work Place Practices, which can be studied at both Stage 1 (either one or two semesters in Year 11) and Stage 2 (full year) and students to explore in depth their chosen vocation.

Community Studies and Integrated Learning may be offered on an individual basis and in consultation with Head of Senior School, Leader of Student Futures, and Leader of Student Diversity (where appropriate).
