SEDA College WA

COLLEGE PROSPECTUS

The SEDA model places student

interest at the forefront of their

senior secondary education,

alongside a practical connection to

industry and an individual approach

to teaching and learning. Students

at our College are able to gain a

hands-on insight into what it is like

to be a part of Australia’s leading

organisations and sporting clubs.

Our College accesses leading

industry partnerships including

Cricket Australia, the Western

Australian Cricket Association,

Perth Scorchers, Netball WA, West

Coast Fever, Basketball WA, Perth

Lynx, Perth Glory, Football West,

Fremantle Dockers and West Coast

Eagles.

What makes for an engaging

education? For us, the key

component is interest-based

learning. Young people and their

families choose our College because

we connect with their interests and

then get students outside of the

classroom to learn directly from

industry.

Our ‘one teacher, one classroom’

model also allows our teachers to

take on a true mentoring approach,

where they walk alongside and

support the individual journey of

our students as they complete their

secondary education.

Our Teachers work with each student

to develop their confidence as

learners. Teachers are specifically

recruited for their capacity to build

healthy and respectful relationships

with students and develop skills

for life.

At SEDA College WA our students

experience an applied learning

pedagogy where hands-on learning

happens both inside and outside of

the classroom. Through this applied

learning model, students have a

deeper connection to their education,

resulting in enhanced engagement

levels. Students also undertake

work and industry placements and

community project work to develop

their work readiness and community

awareness.

It is an honour to be the Principal

here at SEDA College WA. We are

passionate about providing an

environment where every student

can experience success in a place

where ambition meets opportunity.

I look forward to meeting with you

at one of our upcoming Information

Sessions.

Principal

A message from

our Principal

At SEDA College WA, we change students'

lives through an individual approach to learning

that provides opportunities to develop real

skills and prepare them for a successful future.

WHO WE ARE

Why choose

SEDA College

COLLEGE PROSPECTUS

SEDA College students experience

a unique education pathway because

of our relationships with several

of Australia’s leading sporting

organisations. Students are involved

in industry experiences they will not

find anywhere else. We develop

Areas of Study and curriculum

with our industry partners so that

students develop the knowledge,

skills and attributes of current

industry professionals.

Our ‘one teacher’ to ‘one class’

approach allows our teachers to

take on a true mentoring role, where

they get the time to know you and

your individual aspirations. They take

the time to support you as you learn

through your own experiences and

define your own journey.

You will learn in real workplace and

community settings and directly

from industry experts. You may get

out of your comfort zone and make

mistakes, but this is where the real

learning takes place. Don’t worry,

we will support you all the way. We’ll

equip you with transferable skills that

will help you climb the career ladder.

We know from our connection

to industry the key personal

qualities and transferable skills that

employers are looking for. We place

as much importance on developing

these skills as academic progress.

Through a tailored, individual

approach known as MyPLAN your

teacher will support you as you

develop these skills to set you

on a pathway to success.

SEDA College WA

Our teachers, while being

experienced educators, also have

a broad range of professional

skills and excellent theoretical

and practical grounding. They have

industry experience, which will

vary from teacher to teacher.

All staff are invested in unlocking

each student’s potential as they

guide them on a pathway to success.

Our teachers develop a professional

relationship with their students,

giving them the skills and guidance

required to realise their full potential.

Our staff also work in close

collaboration with industry experts

from our partner organisations,

delivering hands-on learning and

creating meaningful workplace

connections.

Student Connect

At SEDA College, we understand the

significance of wellbeing for student

achievement. The "one teacher,

one classroom" model we use allows

our teachers to develop positive

relationships with each student and

support their individual journeys.

They act as mentors, supporting

both learning and wellbeing

throughout the program. If concerns

become more significant, each

teacher will collaborate with the

Program Coordinator and/or

Student Connect staff to provide

the best care possible.

Student Connect provides

professional wellbeing assistance in

collaboration with the teaching team

and parents/carers. We find open

and regular communication makes a

difference to a student’s experience

while they are at school. We

encourage regular contact between

SEDA staff, students and parents/

carers; and where appropriate,

external support providers. This is

critical to ensure each student’s

individual needs are met.

Our aim is to develop each student’s

capacity to access support services

in their local area that are age

appropriate and best placed to assist.

Student Connect also promotes

student wellbeing by developing

awareness raising activities relevant

to the needs of our students.

MySEDA

MySEDA is the Learning

Management System (LMS) that

students, parents, teachers and

staff use as their central hub for

communication, teaching and

learning. MySEDA supports parents

and guardians to stay connected

with real-time access to student

assessment, grades, reports,

industry experiences and important

notifications. It is available online

and as a smartphone app.

LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

COLLEGE PROSPECTUS

MyPLAN

MyPLAN is a digital portfolio that

supports students to track their

individual goals, achievements,

experiences, and growth during their

time at SEDA College. Underpinning

MyPLAN are the Transferable Work

Skills and Personal Habits, which

have been identified as important

attributes, attitudes, and mindsets

to develop in order to succeed at

SEDA and beyond. Development

of the MyPLAN portfolio, and the

Transferable Work Skills and Personal

Habits, is supported with timetabled

MyPLAN sessions in class and regular

MyPLAN meetings between teachers,

parents, and students.

The five core skills we believe are

essential for student development are:

› Problem Solving

› Personal Organisation

› Self-Awareness

› Communication

› Teamwork

“The SEDA one teacher model is very unique and

allows teachers to work closely with the students

and parents over a two-year period. The growth and

development that we see in students during this time

is very rewarding.”

Kara Antonio

Fremantle Dockers Sports Development Program Teacher,

Fremantle Dockers AFLW Captain

“Many students have found a new love and enjoyment

for school and learning again at SEDA College.

The program is very much student-centred and

provides students with choice and responsibility

in their learning.”

Ingrid Colyer

Former West Coast Fever Athlete

11

SEDA College WA

The SEDA College program takes

the traditional WACE and VET

curriculum and contextualizes

it to create maximum student

engagement. Numeracy and Literacy

skill development is integrated

throughout multiple Areas of Study.

Becoming the Coach

Great coaches are hard to find.

In this area of study, students

are introduced to the roles and

responsibilities of an entry level

coach. Students explore and

compare good and poor coaching

practices and are given the

opportunity to apply these skills

with real life participants. Coaching

practices are reviewed, and student

skills refined so that they are ready

to conduct participation clinics

representing their sporting partner.

The Athlete

In The Athlete, students will gain

an understanding of what it takes to

perfect skills. Students will learn how

to perform a skill analysis and design

and implement a development

program. Students will explore and

apply skill improvement tools and

feedback mechanisms and compare

skill abilities of varying levels of

athletes.

The Developing Coach

Real world coaching! Students get

the opportunity to further develop

and update coaching knowledge

and skills in a real setting. SEDA

students work within the community,

delivering participation programs for

our industry partners whilst refining

all aspects of their coaching.

Game On

Participate in the SEDA Game On

season and develop your skills and

broaden your knowledge about

the game you love. In this area of

study, students put their skill and

conditioning into match practice,

as well as gain a broader

understanding of what it takes

to run a sporting competition.

Participate in Game On, show

off your skills and explore other

aspects of the game such as sports

psychology, officiating, fixtures

and resulting.

The Power of Sport

Sport is the universal language.

Take the time to explore how sport

can influence and shape the culture

within a community.

Learn and experience how sport

can break down all sorts of barriers

and bring people together. In this

area of study, students will connect

with sporting partners and industry

strategies to help build better

communities.

The Apprentice

Students at SEDA get a head start

in their personal and professional

development. In The Apprentice,

students build the cornerstone of

the development plan via MyPlan

and build their knowledge and

understanding of personal work

habits and skills for a successful

future.

The Workplace

Our students get a head start in

their careers through Workplace

Learning which they undertake

one day a week in allocated terms.

Students gain a good understanding

of the duties they might be expected

to perform in the workplace and

they will acquire the skills that

prospective employers need and

want in their employees. Students

complete a placement in the Sport

and Recreation industry to broaden

their experiences and employment

prospects.

AREAS OF STUDY

Student Learning

The SEDA College program is planned

and developed with industry experts, and

deliberately connects the learning experiences

of our students to the type of activities and

projects that might be undertaken if working

in a sport and recreation environment.
