Young people are learning a lot more than we recognise

Young people are volunteers, carers, translators, entrepreneurs and innovators – creating opportunities and building small businesses.

Educators, recruiters, selectors and employers don’t have a trusted way to recognise the breadth and depth of things that young people know and can do. This has an impact on their future learning and future work pathways. Every young person in any school stands to benefit from a formal way to recognise their learning success.

The SACE Board is designing a way to fairly and formally recognise more of what young people can do.

Thriving inside and outside of school

Young people are learning inside and outside of the classroom and yet, a lot of valuable learning is not being included as proof of success at the end of senior secondary school.

Thriving in who they are

Young people are more than a mark – they have individual and personal experiences, talents, skills and interests.

Thriving in learning work and community

Young people’s learning is taking place at school, online, at home, at work and with community leaders and mentors.

Who is on board?

Schools already nurture these capabilities without formal certification.

Talk to your school about how they are involved.
