The connections task is assessed by the school and moderated at Stage 2. Teachers select moderation samples and submit materials online.

For a 10-credit subject, students complete one connections task.

For a 20-credit subject, students complete one connections task.

Students explore a concept or issue from a religious or spiritual perspective related to a big idea. They may develop a new or enriched understanding through connecting with others eg. peers, community members, elders, online communities. They may also engage in other forms of research. Applying these insights, students undertake a task or activity in collaboration with others. They engage in reflective practice to evaluate the impact of their shared action, and their learning regarding religious and/or spiritual concepts, ideas and beliefs.

For a 10-credit subject, a connections task should be a maximum of 1000 words if written, or a maximum of 6 minutes if oral or the equivalent in multimodal form.

For a 20-credit subject a connecting task should be a maximum of 2000 words if written, or a maximum of 12 minutes if oral or the equivalent in multimodal form.

Student work should be their own. See Supervision and verification of student work.
