The St Albans Secondary College SEAL Program supports students capable of learning at a faster pace, and in greater depth, than students of the same age. It offers high potential students a rigorous and diverse curriculum in a stimulating and challenging learning environment. If your child is a high achiever, gifted learner or talented academic, the SEAL Program will maximise their learning potential across all curriculum areas. This program gives your child the best opportunity for higher educational achievement.
The SEAL Program will provide your child with an exciting learning experience, equal to his or her high potential. Learning in SEAL classrooms is demanding, open-ended, and designed to engage students’ higher order abilities. Our expert team of teachers will closely monitor your child’s progress, while providing lessons that eliminate repetition, accelerate the pace of learning, ensure depth of learning, and engage technology to enhance your child’s learning experiences.
The Learning Manager and the SEAL Program Coordinator, who are responsible for closely monitoring the academic progress and wellbeing needs of each student, will support your child to ensure that their learning experience is a positive one.
In the SEAL Program, students can complete most of the Year 7-10 curriculum in three years. During this time, SEAL students study an enriched program for English, Integrated Studies, Language other than English, Mathematics, Science, Health & Physical Education, Music, Arts and Technology. However, not all subjects are being accelerated to the same level.
Once in the program, students are required to meet certain expectations in order to continue advancing within the SEAL program. Students who fail to meet these expectations, may have their place in the program reviewed. The review process will include rigorous consultations with relevant staff members, e.g. teachers, SEAL Coordinator and Sub-School coordinators and the outcome will be communicated to parents.
