SEDA College aims to develop a student’s physical and mental wellbeing to cope with the things that life throws at them. With a strong literacy focus, Healthy Living involves students investigating respectful relationships, drugs and alcohol, safe partying and social inclusion all of which aim to better equip students within our current society.

In meeting the requirements of the VCAL Personal Development Skills strand students will improve their leadership skills and put their ideas into action by organising events and activities out of the classroom. They will also recognise the importance of environmental sustainability and use measures to conserve nature for future generations.

Through MyPLAN meetings, the work that students do within the Areas of Study and on Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) placements, students will explore career pathways in real work settings and acquire transferrable skills that employers value. Students explore the value of volunteering, while building their resume and connecting with key professionals in their chosen industry. SWL provides students with a hands-on learning experience one day a week starting from Term 2. Students gain an in-depth understanding of the duties they might be expected to perform in the workplace.

Understand the influence of sport in the community and how it can shape culture, behaviour and bring people together. Link with community groups to organise and run community projects and activities. Through the integration of the VCAL Personal Development and Literacy strands students will work in groups, developing their collaborative, problem solving and teamwork skills as they put their ideas into action.

Sporting clubs have a significant influence on community life and culture. With a strong Numeracy focus, students will have the opportunity to liaise with sporting bodies and associations to plan, organise, design and manage their own club.
