At SEDA, students who share a passion for sports thrive in an applied, hands-on learning environment.
Partnering with Australia’s leading sport, recreation, community, and trade organisations, such as AFL Victoria, Basketball Victoria, Cricket Australia, Melbourne Victory and Melbourne Vixens, students gain real-world industry experiences.
The SEDA model places student interests at the forefront of their senior secondary education, integrating practical connections to industry.
Students at the school can gain a first-hand insight into what it is like to be a part of one of Australia’s leading organisations and sporting clubs.
A priority is the development of key personal qualities and transferable skills, aligning with the needs of employers.
Their classrooms, strategically located in community settings, provide a dynamic environment for learning.
SEDA College’s individualised learning transforms students’ lives and provides unique opportunities to develop practical skills for a successful future.
Their distinctive ‘one teacher, one classroom’ model fosters a genuine mentoring approach, enabling teachers to walk alongside and support each student’s individual journey through their secondary education.
In a typical week, students spend 2.5 days in the classroom, one day delivering sport clinics in the community, and one day gaining industry experience in a structured workplace.
Activities throughout the year, such as presentations on health promotion strategies, coaching sessions with elite partners, and engaging in sports like surfing and skiing, enhance the SEDA College experience.
Career advice is integral to their program, with all students completing their ‘MyPLAN’, a digital professional portfolio linking skills and industry experiences to educational and employment pathways.
Their teachers, supported by the professional pathways team, guide students through this process, ensuring a seamless transition into their desired future.
“Our mission is to ensure that every SEDA College graduate not only possesses a strong understanding of themselves, but also has the capacity to make a positive impact beyond the school gates,” SEDA College VIC principal Heath McMillin said.
“We are committed to providing each student with the best possible education, equipping them for further studies, the workforce and empowering them to contribute meaningfully to their community in the years ahead.”
