SEDA college uses sport and real-life industry experience to engage students in their learning.

SEDA College is a coeducational Independent Senior Secondary School for Years 11 & 12 that specialises in applied learning through individual learning and real-life industry experiences.

We partner with Australia’s leading sport, recreation, community, and trade organisations. Such as AFL Victoria, Cricket Australia, Melbourne United, Melbourne City and Netball Victoria.

SEDA College graduates are well-rounded individuals with academic and industry experiences to support their future educational and employment pathways.

The SEDA model places student interest at the forefront of their Senior Secondary education, alongside a practical connection to industry. Students at our school are able to gain a first-hand insight into what it is like to be a part of Australia’s leading organisations and sporting clubs.

Our ‘one teacher, one classroom’ 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.

We know from our connection to industry the key personal qualities and transferable skills that employers are seeking. We place as much importance on developing these skills as progressing theoretical and academic knowledge.

To maximise student learning and deliver industry-based experiences, classrooms are located in local community settings such as sport, recreation, community and trade facilities.

SEDA College partners with major sporting organisations such as AFL Victoria, Cricket Australia, Melbourne United, Melbourne City and Netball Victoria.

The program provides a direct link to industry opportunities in a hands-on learning environment all connected to the students’ interests.

The connection between education and industry facilitates authentic learning experiences and student opportunities. This combination enables our students to acquire the skills to support future educational and employment pathways.

In a typical week at SEDA College, students will be in the classroom 2.5 days a week, 1 day out in a community setting delivering sport clinics on behalf of industry partners and 1 day gaining industry experience in a structured workplace.
