Course Overview

Stage 2 Activating Identities & Futures (formerly Research Project) is a compulsory 10-credit subject. Students must achieve a 
C– grade or better to complete the subject successfully and gain their SACE. 

In Activiating Identities and Futures (formerly Research Project A) students choose a research question that is based on an area of interest. They identify one or more capabilities that are relevant to their research. Students use the research framework as a guide to developing their research and applying knowledge, skills, and ideas specific to their research question. They choose one or more capabilities, explore the concept of the capability or capabilities, and how it or they can be developed in the context of their research.  Students synthesise their key findings to produce a Research Outcome, which is substantiated by evidence and examples from the research. They review the research processes used, and the quality of their Research Outcome.

For Research Project A, students can choose to present their external assessment in written, oral, or multimodal form.
