Students in the Senior Years will begin subjects that count towards their South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) completion. The SACE is a modern, internationally-recognised secondary school qualification designed to equip students with skills, knowledge, and personal capabilities to successfully participate in our fast-paced global society.
To complete the qualification, students will need to attain 200 credits from a selection of Stage 1 and Stage 2 subjects. A 10-credit subject is usually one semester of study, and a 20-credit subject is usually over two semesters.
The SACE caters for practical and theory, hands-on and action-based learning both in and outside school. Your daughter is encouraged to choose subjects that she enjoys, suits her learning style and will open doors to a range of careers within her area of interest.
Your daughter will have the opportunity to explore her interests, strengths, subject choices, and style of learning during the Personal Learning Plan at the beginning of her SACE journey, which is studied in Year 10 at Kildare.
Vocational Education and Training (VET) options are available at both Stage 1 and Stage 2 and include a wide range of industry areas, including construction, automotive, electro-technology, hospitality, community services, health and information technology.
Should you require more information regarding the SACE, please contact me at the College.
We wish the best of luck to all Senior students.

Senior Years Coordinator
