Student Learning

Completing Year 12 is essential for a young person’s social, personal and career development. As such, the foundation of our programs is a Northern Territory Certificate of Education (NTECT).

All College students undertake a combination of NTCET subjects and Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualifications, which develop their industry-specific skills and contribute credits towards their Year 12 Certificate.

Curriculum

SEDA College students engage in curriculum that enhance learning through their interest in sport and recreation. We design our curriculum in collaboration with our industry partners so that students develop the knowledge, skills and attributes of current industry professionals.

We aim to bring out the best in our students by focusing on key elements that define our unique approach.

Below is the list of subjects students will be enrolled in per year level.

Northern Territory Certificate of Education and Training (NTCET)

All College students undertake subjects that allow them to obtain their Northern Territory Certificate of Education and Training (NTCET) qualification. The NTCET is overseen by the South Australian Curriculum of Education (SACE) and is also known as the Year 12 Certificate.

NTCET subjects, combined with the VET certificates allow our students to obtain the 200 credits required to obtain their NTCET certificate.

All curriculum is designed with engagement the priority, with subject topics largely focusing on sport and post-school relevant skills.

In Year 10 students are enrolled in the following subjects:

  • English
  • Mathematics
  • Indigenous Studies
  • Physical Education
  • Personal Learning Plan

In Year 11 students are enrolled in the following subjects:

  • English (Semester 1)
  • English (Semester 2)
  • Mathematics
  • Health and Wellbeing

Subjects as required.

Our students get a head start in their careers through our structured Work Placement. This hands-on learning experience occurs one day a week. Students gain an in-depth 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.

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 Transferable Work Skills we believe are essential for student development are: 

  • Problem Solving 
  • Personal Organisation 
  • Self-Awareness 
  • Communication 
  • Teamwork

Vocational Education and Training (VET)

Our teachers, while being experienced educators, also have a broad range of professional skills and excellent theoretical and practical grounding. 

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 secondary education.  Mentor-style relationships are formed between teachers and students through their shared passions and interests. This mutual connection enhances the bond our students have with their class and the school as a whole. 

During each classroom activity, students are supported by our Education Support Officers (Teachers Aide/Inclusion Support Assistant) in addition to our Teachers. Student’s also have access to the College’s year level Coordinator, Wellbeing Coordinator, Education Engagement & NCCD Coordinator, Indigenous Engagement Coordinator and other relevant staff during the academic year.

Our staff also work in close collaboration with industry experts from our partner organisations, delivering hands-on learning and creating meaningful workplace connections.

Up to three days a week, students complete the classroom-based component of their NTCET and VET qualifications.
