Step Up - community learning is a new approach by SSABSA (Senior Secondary Assessment Board of South Australia) to recognise your community learning towards the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE).

See the student information sheet [pdf]

You can get recognition for community learning in two ways:

1. Community-developed Programs
   If you have a current award or certificate of a community-developed program, e.g. Royal Life Saving Society, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, Choices for Indigenous Secondary Students Program.  All programs...
    
2. Self-directed Community Learning
   If you are involved in personal learning, such as taking care of a family member, supporting a refugee family, volunteering for a community project.  Examples of programs...

Community learning can occur at anytime and at any place:

• at the same time as your SACE studies
• after school
• at home
• on weekends
• prior to commencing your SACE
• after Year 12.

Some benefits of community learning:

• get hands-on experience in the community
• get SACE recognition for learning that you enjoy
• get SACE recognition for learning you develop outside SACE studies
• develop skills for life.
