Sports Development Program

Our ‘one teacher’ to ‘one class’ model 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 senior secondary education.

This integrated learning experience enables time for a teacher to really understand the student as an individual and develop positive relationships with students and their families. In the classroom, this teacher-student relationship is based on a shared passion or interest. The teacher will communicate regularly with the student’s family and is the primary point of contact for student needs during their education at the College.

In collaboration with teachers and caregivers, 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.

The College works with our industry partners to deliver sporting programs to local primary schools and community groups. Students and staff will collaborate with relevant stakeholders to deliver high-quality and engaging sports sessions.

Students will immerse themselves in promoting sport, fitness, and general health through the implementation of programs specifically tailored for a wide range of participants. This provides an opportunity for students to excel in multiple learning environments as they develop a greater understanding and appreciation of diversity.

Through our applied industry-based learning approach, students learn to collaborate and problem-solve in different and sometimes challenging environments whilst acquiring the skills to support future educational and employment pathways.

Our students get a head start in their careers through our structured work experience program. Students gain an in-depth understanding of the duties they might be expected to perform in the workplace, and they will acquire the knowledge and attributes that prospective employers expect in their employees.

This hands-on learning experience occurs one day per week throughout the academic year and can take place in an industry of choice. Through real-life learning with local businesses and industry partners, students have the opportunity to explore career pathways and acquire transferable skills in real workplace settings.

MyPLAN is a digital portfolio that supports students to track their individual goals, achievements, experiences, and growth during their time at the College.

Development and monitoring of each student's MyPLAN portfolio is supported by timetabled MyPLAN sessions in class and regular MyPLAN meetings between teachers, caregivers, and students.

Underpinning MyPLAN are the Transferable Work Skills and Personal Habits, which have been identified as important attributes to succeed at the College and beyond. Through our unique teaching, learning and industry experiences, students are equipped with transferable skills that will help them enter the working world with confidence.

This subject is designed for students to focus on the health and well-being of individuals, communities, and societies in the environments they share. Students will explore the interrelationship of lifestyle, physical activity, social behaviour, health care and promoting healthy environments and healthy living in society.

Students will be assisted in developing life skills such as building positive relationships, that will enhance their options for healthy living and skills for managing and promoting physical and mental health.

Students explore Ways of Defining Health, The Effect of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs on Health, Obesity and Mental and Emotional Health, investigating current health issues and trends and the impact of social media on Health.

During week 1 of the school year, students participate in the College’s Orientation Week where they commence the development of their MyPLAN portfolio, meet fellow students and College staff as well as engage in swimming assessments, sport and recreation activities, learn from guest speakers, and meet industry partners. Caregivers will meet with their child’s teacher at MyPLAN meetings during this period.

For the first 3 weeks of Term 1, students participate in a workplace readiness program to assist them in the development of their MyPLAN, identifying work experience opportunities, as well as attaining skills and knowledge required to work safely in the workplace and other environments.

To maximise student learning and deliver industry-based experiences, learning environments are located at local sport, recreation, and community facilities in the Marrara sporting complex area as well as other surrounding suburbs. Students are expected to utilise public transport to access venues used by the College. SEDA College students have access to an NTG school bus departing Palmerston in the morning, dropping off at SEDA venues, and returning in the afternoon.
