About Us

Sports Education and Development Australia (SEDA) was established in 2006 as a provider of senior secondary education and training in partnership with schools.

The concept was established to meet the needs of young people requiring an applied learning education focus that was set in the real world. The disengagement of young people in the senior years often results in lack of attendance, motivation and reflects a lack of direction and meaning in what they are learning.

Schools and SEDA have responded to the needs of many young people through a program that engages them in their study, motivates them to challenge themselves and improves their skills.

SEDA is the first non school senior secondary provider to be registered with the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA).

The programs offered operate in conjunction with the DEECD, Victoria University and Victoria's major sporting bodies. Students have the opportunity to link with Cricket Victoria, AFL Victoria, Football Federation Victoria, Life Saving Victoria, Netball Victoria, Swimming Victoria, Yachting Victoria or Tennis Victoria whilst completing their education in a challenging and rewarding sporting environment.

If you are a school leaver or about to enter Year 11 or Year 12 you can complete a Diploma in Sport (Development) and/or your VCE and VCAL through SEDA's Sports Development Programs.

Courses can be completed over two or three years and offer extensive involvement in the Sport and Recreation Industry. The program uses an applied learning model combining both classroom and practical based activities linked closely with our sporting partners and the local community. Students are given the opportunity to access excellent sporting facilities and also get to interact and work closely with sporting organisation staff.
