Content:

Personal Learning Plan (PLP) is a compulsory Year 10 SACE subject. It allows students to investigate their strengths and abilities and align them with certain pathways. It also requires students to critically analyse their weaknesses in order to set goals to improve them.

All students involved in PLP will also complete a Work Placement as part of their studies. Students will consider their aspirations and research reliable career information to help them make appropriate subject choices and map out their future. Students will work towards goals they need to achieve as they progress through school towards work, training or further study.

The four assessment areas are:

  • Work Experience
  • Identifying Goals
  • Career Research
  • Shark Tank Review

As a compulsory and foundational SACE subject, PLP must be completed successfully before enrolling in Year 11.

Assessment:

Student performance will be determined according to the subject’s Performance Standards as described in the Subject Outline. Grades A to E will be used for reporting purposes.
