During her time at SEDA, some of the greatest skills Radhika learnt were patience, will power, determination and hope. SEDA gave her the confidence to work through challenges, overcome adversity and achieve her full potential. Meeting a range of people within the arts industry and working with different community groups gave Radhika a better understanding of theatre practice. Radhika is now completing a Bachelor of Creative Arts at Deakin University with the ambition of one day owning her own theatre company. ELLE SABLOTNY, 2014 Bachelor of Communications (Media) – RMIT “SEDA gives you great insight into all aspects of the entertainment industry and teaches you how to put the right amount of effort into achieving your dreams.” SEDA provided an opportunity for Elle to develop her skills in the subjects and areas of study she already enjoyed, including drama and literature, as well as the chance to surround herself with like-minded people. Elle found SEDA was able to teach her how to work in a professional environment as well as show her the importance of using initiative in every situation. She found this beneficial in getting her skills recognised by others in the industry and taking on new opportunities. Highlights of SEDA included the work experience opportunities Elle received and how these experiences improved her CV. Elle had the opportunity to co-direct a theatre show which toured across Melbourne and Alice Springs, work backstage on the State School Spectacular and assist on music video shoots. Following SEDA, Elle was accepted into a Bachelor of Communications (Media) at RMIT. In future she hopes to work in the film industry as well as perform her own music. DHILLAN PUDDY, 2014 Bachelor of Arts (Music) – RMIT “Being given the chance to be independent is really valuable as a student and leaves you with a sense of achievement when you start accomplishing your personal goals.” Music and Drama classes were Dhillan’s main source of enjoyment at school before coming to SEDA. The practical hands-on approach to learning in the SEDA program provided an environment for Dhillan to remain engaged in her work and continue with the subjects she loved full-time. Through her internship with The Song Room in the marketing team, as well her experience touring a Theatre in Education show, Dhillan developed her confidence, independence and leadership, giving her time to grow as a person and an artist. Since graduating from SEDA, Dhillan has been accepted into a Bachelor of Arts (Music) at RMIT University. She credits her experiences at SEDA with her acceptance into the course, as her hands-on experience was what higher education providers were looking for in an application. Dhillan hopes to one day set up her own record label, promoting young artists, as well as work on her own music. MITCH WHELAN, 2014 Bachelor of Arts Theatre – Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) “I’ve always been an organised person, however, SEDA put that to the test and gave me the chance to become self-driven and self-motivated. I’ve learned how to communicate with professionals and the etiquettes and behaviours expected from within the arts industry.” The opportunity to pursue his love of acting and complete school in an environment dedicated to the arts made Mitch’s decision to move from Traralgon to Melbourne to join the Arts program easy. The highlight of the program for Mitch was the opportunity to develop and tour a Theatre-in-Education show around Melbourne. This experience was made even better when the class raised $2000 to tour the show in Alice Springs. It was an incredible experience for Mitch and one of the projects he is most proud of from his time at SEDA. Mitch was accepted into the Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts where he will be completing his Bachelor of Arts Theatre. Following his studies, Mitch plans on moving back to Melbourne and establishing himself as an artist with the hope to own an amateur theatre company. 2016 PROGRAM GUIDE | 13 EDUCATION PARTNERS OUR STAFF HOST SCHOOLS 160 staff are employed nationally across teaching, operations, administration and office positions.
