YEAR 12 LEARNER COMPETENCY CREDENTIAL 2023 As Santa Sophia Catholic College prepares to celebrate the achievements of our foundational Year 12 cohort with their HSC results, we are thrilled to enhance their academic accomplishments with the Australian Learner Competency Credential (Australian LCC). This pioneering initiative, led by the University of Melbourne’s Melbourne Assessment research unit, recognises vital competencies such as Agency in Learning, Quality Thinking and Communication. Our participation in this groundbreaking programme, alongside eight other esteemed schools across Australia, highlights our commitment to a holistic educational approach.

Enterprise Professor Sandra Milligan, Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment, notes the Australian LCC will help students prepare for a rapidly changing future: “Traditional metrics of learning and schooling success report what a learner knows about a particular subject or topic, or what they can do under timed, high-stakes tests or examinations. But to thrive in a modern AI world, students need to demonstrate more than that. They need to be collaborative, build and maintain connections, act ethically, be entrepreneurial, be critical thinkers and reflective. These are the qualities the Australian LCC is designed to recognise.” The Australian LCC is more than a certificate; it's a reflection of our students' readiness to meet future challenges and opportunities. As Santa Sophia Catholic College continues to innovate in education, we remain dedicated to equipping our students with the skills for the workplace of the future.
