Student Support

At SEDA College NT, we know the significance of wellbeing for student achievement, therefore the College places students’ health and wellbeing at the forefront of how we approach teaching, learning and provision of support. Our teachers play a key role in supporting our students, via their strong mentoring relationship, which assists our students in identifying goals and aspirations they wish to achieve during their SEDA journey. Our teachers’ ability to build healthy and respectful relationships with each student creates our ‘whole of school’ approach to student wellbeing with a focus on help-seeking, open communication, and working with caregivers to provide wrap-around support where required.

In collaboration with teachers, our Student Support Team engages with students requiring additional support in and outside of the classroom. They provide a range of services including educational, wellbeing, cultural, and behavioural support.

Student Wellbeing

Our college employs a full-time Wellbeing Coordinator whose role involves support at all levels, including whole of-school events and initiatives, classroom health and wellbeing programs, and individual counselling and referral support. Our emphasis is on proactive education and engagement to raise awareness and embed strategies for positive mental health. 

Individual intervention from our Wellbeing Coordinator can include but is not limited to, individual counselling, group work, crisis support, teacher consultation, parent/family consultation, referral, and mediation support. Our approach to individual support is always flexible to the needs of the student, including options for sessions at the office, on-site at venues or over the phone. 

Students can access our Wellbeing Coordinator as needed via teacher or self-referral. Classroom programs encompass Wellbeing Coordinator facilitated sessions as well as collaborative sessions with external agencies.

Education Support

In collaboration with teachers, our education support staff engage with students requiring additional educational support in and outside of the classroom.

The College strives to maximise opportunities for access, participation, and outcomes for all students and is committed to treating all applicants and current students on the same basis. As such, the College encourages applicants and caregivers to disclose information and provide documentation about an applicant’s individual needs.

Discloser of an applicant’s individual need is encouraged during our Enrolment Process or as soon as possible upon knowledge being received that an additional need is present. The College is committed to assessing and providing reasonable adjustments (where doing so would not cause unjustifiable hardship to the College) for individual needs in consultation with the applicant/student and their caregiver/s.
