MESSAGE FROM
 THE PRINCIPAL
        AT SEDA   SEDA College is an independent, co-educational Year 11 to Year 12 school which
                  provides HSC programs in a hands-on, industry based environment.
     WE CHANGE    SEDA College brings a new model of learning to senior secondary students in NSW.
                  We provide an exciting and positive alternative to traditional senior schooling, with a
PEOPLES’ LIVES    HSC course designed to engage students with their learning, and empower them to
                  achieve personal growth and success during and beyond school.
 BY DEVELOPING    The College’s aim is to develop an engaging and caring learning environment which
    REAL SKILLS   fosters the holistic growth of each young person, and provides pathways to lifelong
                  learning.
AND PREPARING     At SEDA College, students benefit from being exposed to high standards and a range of
                  learning opportunities, allowing them to reach their personal and career goals.
 STUDENTS FOR     It is our intention to produce graduates who are confident learners, care for and about
  A SUCCESSFUL    others, and are optimistic about their future. Our hope is that they will be well-rounded
                  individuals who want to make a difference on both the local and global stage.
        FUTURE.   To achieve these aims, SEDA College has developed a partnership with SEDA Group
                  to implement its educational model, and to access industry partnerships with leading
                  national and state organisations.
                  The College Council chose the SEDA Group model because of its powerful core values
                  and its success in engaging students in education in other parts of Australia.
                  What makes for an engaging education? For us, the key component is interest-based
                  learning. The College promotes a model of learning that places students and their life
                  choices at the centre of everything we do.
                  SEDA College delivers the HSC curriculum using an applied learning pedagogy, which
                  means hands-on learning happens both inside and outside of the classroom. Through
                  this applied learning model, students have a deeper connection to their education.
                  Students also undertake industry placement and community project work throughout
                  their time at the College, to develop their work readiness and community awareness.
                  SEDA College promotes strong relationships between students and staff. The ‘one
                  teacher, one class model allows the teacher to really get to know students, their personal
                  circumstances and their career aspirations, and to help them develop confidence and
                  lifelong learning skills.
                  The College has a strong pastoral care model which is led by our teachers. Young
                  people, their families and their teachers work collaboratively to find productive ways
                  to resolve some of the challenges that may arise during the student’s time at school.
                  We use a restorative justice approach to challenging situations and work closely with
                  students and their families to provide support and access to local services within their
                  neighbourhoods.
                  On behalf of the SEDA College Council, and our teaching and administrative staff,
                  I welcome you to join us in 2020. We look forward to working with you and watching our
                  students grow in confidence and skills over the final years of their secondary education.

Our ‘one teacher, one class approach allows our teachers to take on a true mentoring role, where
they get the time to know each student and their individual aspirations. Our staff also support
students with sourcing appropriate industry placement. These opportunities develop each
student’s network.

and community organisations. In addition to teacher-led activities, our students are involved in
                                                                                                            PROBLEM
industry experiences they won’t find anywhere else. We develop areas of study and curriculum                SOLVING
with our industry partners so that young people can learn how to do the job of current industry
professionals.

WE GET OUT OF THE CLASSROOM
AND LEARN BY DOING
Our school believes that young people need the right learning environment to make a
difference. At SEDA College, students learn in real workplace and community settings.
At SEDA, it is common for students to learn outside their comfort zone and make mistakes,
and this is where the real learning takes place. Our experienced teachers support students all
the way.
                                                                                                         PLANNING AND

Through our industry-based learning approach, students acquire the skills that employers need
and want.

DEVELOP THE SKILLS THAT REALLY MATTER
Great futures start at our school. We know from our connection to industry the key personal
qualities and transferrable skills employers are looking for. We place as much importance on
developing these skills as progressing theoretical and academic knowledge.
Through a tailored individual approach, known as “MyPLAN”, our teachers support their
students to develop these skills and set them on a pathway to success. They use the latest
technology in their learning while developing transferrable skills that will provide them with          SELF-AWARENESS
a head start across many industries.

                              SEDA College recognises that a Year 12 completion is fundamental to a young

                              The College provides a range of traditional HSC and VET units of study, utilising

                              the opportunity to test their knowledge in a real environment, assisting them to
                              transition into work or further study.

Since graduating from SEDA College, I have
since enrolled into the College at the University
of Western Sydney to complete a Diploma in
Arts/Bachelor of Arts (Pathway to Teaching).
By completing this pathway, I will then be able
to transfer into second year at the University.
Whilst in Year 12 I completed work placement
with Cricket NSW in two different departments
Event Management and Game Development,
both ended up offering me work once I had
left school. During the Big Bash League and
Women’s Big Bash League, the Sydney Sixers
Event Management Team offered me a position
as an Assistant Floor manager for all the home
games. For this role I had to ensure that the MC’s
were in the right place and cue them once we
had found something that was going to entertain
the crowd. As a Game Development officer, I run
programs at primary and high schools. These
programs are designed to teach the students
cricket skills, in a fun and inclusive way.
