MESSAGE FROM
THE PRINCIPAL
AT SEDA SEDA College is an independent, co-educational Year 11 to Year 12 school which
provides HSC programs in a hands-on, industry based environment.
WE CHANGE SEDA College brings a new model of learning to senior secondary students in NSW.
We provide an exciting and positive alternative to traditional senior schooling, with a
PEOPLES’ LIVES HSC course designed to engage students with their learning, and empower them to
achieve personal growth and success during and beyond school.
BY DEVELOPING The College’s aim is to develop an engaging and caring learning environment which
REAL SKILLS fosters the holistic growth of each young person, and provides pathways to lifelong
learning.
AND PREPARING At SEDA College, students benefit from being exposed to high standards and a range of
learning opportunities, allowing them to reach their personal and career goals.
STUDENTS FOR It is our intention to produce graduates who are confident learners, care for and about
A SUCCESSFUL others, and are optimistic about their future. Our hope is that they will be well-rounded
individuals who want to make a difference on both the local and global stage.
FUTURE. To achieve these aims, SEDA College has developed a partnership with SEDA Group
to implement its educational model, and to access industry partnerships with leading
national and state organisations.
The College Council chose the SEDA Group model because of its powerful core values
and its success in engaging students in education in other parts of Australia.
What makes for an engaging education? For us, the key component is interest-based
learning. The College promotes a model of learning that places students and their life
choices at the centre of everything we do.
SEDA College delivers the HSC curriculum using an applied learning pedagogy, which
means hands-on learning happens both inside and outside of the classroom. Through
this applied learning model, students have a deeper connection to their education.
Students also undertake industry placement and community project work throughout
their time at the College, to develop their work readiness and community awareness.
SEDA College promotes strong relationships between students and staff. The ‘one
teacher, one class model allows the teacher to really get to know students, their personal
circumstances and their career aspirations, and to help them develop confidence and
lifelong learning skills.
The College has a strong pastoral care model which is led by our teachers. Young
people, their families and their teachers work collaboratively to find productive ways
to resolve some of the challenges that may arise during the student’s time at school.
We use a restorative justice approach to challenging situations and work closely with
students and their families to provide support and access to local services within their
neighbourhoods.
On behalf of the SEDA College Council, and our teaching and administrative staff,
I welcome you to join us in 2020. We look forward to working with you and watching our
students grow in confidence and skills over the final years of their secondary education.

2020 PROSPECTUS | 11WHERE ARE THEY NOW? GEORGIA REID GRADUATE CLASS OF 2017 Since graduating from SEDA College, I have since enrolled into the College at the University of Western Sydney to complete a Diploma in Arts/Bachelor of Arts (Pathway to Teaching). By completing this pathway, I will then be able to transfer into second year at the University. Whilst in Year 12 I completed work placement with Cricket NSW in two different departments Event Management and Game Development, both ended up offering me work once I had left school. During the Big Bash League and Women’s Big Bash League, the Sydney Sixers Event Management Team offered me a position as an Assistant Floor manager for all the home games. For this role I had to ensure that the MC’s were in the right place and cue them once we had found something that was going to entertain the crowd. As a Game Development officer, I run programs at primary and high schools. These programs are designed to teach the students cricket skills, in a fun and inclusive way. 12 | SEDACOLLEGE.NSW.EDU.AU
