Exploring Identities and Futures (EIF) is an exciting flagship subject that responds to the rapidly changing local and global context that our students are living and learning in. EIF is a Stage 1 subject that supports students to learn more about themselves and explore their aspirations and future. EIF forms the foundations for Activating Identities and Futures (AIF) and is underpinned by the same four pedagogical approaches (agency, natural evidence of learning, self-regulatory learning and feedback). AIF replaces the Research Project.
EIF prepares students for a different way of thinking and learning in senior school. As students begin their SACE journey, they build the knowledge, skills, and capabilities required to be thriving learners and are empowered to take ownership of where their pathway leads, exploring interests, work, travel and/or further learning.
In this compulsory 10-credit subject, which replaces Personal Learning Plan, students must achieve a C grade or better in order to attain their SACE. In 2024 EIF will be in the full implementation phase of the roll out across the state.
