Our Success

The nature of the SEDA model focuses on a highly engaging and practical curriculum, strong teacher-student relationships, links to elite sport partners, high-profile industry speakers and increased levels of physical activity. This has a significant impact on improving students’ attendance and engagement.

Senior Secondary Outcomes

All College students undertake a combination of the Northern Territory Certificate of Education and Training (NTCET) subjects and Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualifications, which develop their industry-specific skills and contribute credits towards their Year 12 Certificate. All curriculum is designed with engagement being the priority, with subject topics largely focusing on sports and post-school-relevant skills. Below is a table detailing the number of NTCET and VET qualification completions at our College.

To see the change in my child since she has started attending SEDA halfway through term one is amazing. She now wants to attend school and is always happy to share her day with us.
