PROSPECTUS

WELCOME TO SEDA

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.

SEDA accesses leading industry

partnerships including Cricket

Australia, the Western Australian

Cricket Association, Perth Scorchers,

Netball WA, West Coast Fever,

Basketball WA, Perth Glory, Football

West, Fremantle Dockers, and West

Coast Eagles.

The SEDA Group model has

demonstrated success in engaging,

educating, and empowering young

people in Western Australia

since 2013.

What makes for an engaging

education? For us, the key component

is interest-based learning. Young

people and their families choose

SEDA because we connect with

their interests and then get students

outside of the classroom to learn

directly from industry.

Our individual learning approach

incorporates a "one teacher, one

classroom" model. Allowing 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. They are specifically

recruited for their capacity to build

healthy and respectful relationships

with students, helping them to

develop skills for life.

SEDA delivers the Western Australian

Certificate of Education (WACE)

using an applied learning model

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.

Our vision is that students benefit

from being exposed to a range of

learning opportunities. Each student

is supported to develop a career plan

that is specific to their aspirations

and goals. Whilst ensuring that it

links directly to the learning activities

they undertake and their chosen

career pathway.

State Manager

A message from

Why choose

SEDA

PROSPECTUS

SEDA 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

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, 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

The SEDA

MyPLAN is a digital portfolio that

supports students to track their

individual goals, achievements,

experiences, and growth during their

time at SEDA. Underpinning MyPLAN

are the Transferable Work Skills and

Personal Habits, which have been

beyond. Development of the MyPLAN

portfolio, and the Transferable

sessions in class and regular MyPLAN

meetings between teachers, parents,

› Personal Organisation

› Self-Awareness

› Communication

› Teamwork

11

SEDA

The SEDA program takes the

traditional WACE and VET

curriculum and contextualizes

it to create maximum student

engagement.

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 Community

Development Officer

You will have the opportunity

to develop the skills necessary for

turning your passion for coaching

into a successful career. In addition,

you have the opportunity to network

with SEDA’s sporting partners and

leaders in the industry to learn

coaching principles and develop

coaching sessions.

You get to hone your skills in a

real-world environment in a junior

development capacity. You will also

have the opportunity to develop

your planning and collaboration

skills and learn how to communicate

proficiently with both large and

small groups.

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 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.

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.

AREAS OF STUDY

Student Learning
