Hello, SEDA family!
November flew by faster than a student rushing to class after a coffee break, but we’ve packed so much into these past few weeks. So grab a cuppa, sit back, and let’s take a look at what made this month epic!
Month Highlights
Deck the Halls!
Christmas arrived early at SEDA College! From glittering lights to Instagram-worthy trees, our campuses are ready to spread some festive cheer. If you haven’t taken a selfie in front of the decorations yet, what are you waiting for?
Jiu-Jitsu Stars Shine Bright
Earlier this month, young athletes from TMD House (supported by SEDA) showed Europe how it’s done at the Kids Jiu-Jitsu Championship in Lisbon. They returned with 12 medals—gold, silver, and bronze! Basically, we’re one step away from opening our own dojo.
Cambridge Day Success
Our academic team attended Cambridge Day in Dublin, where they soaked up the latest teaching techniques, tools, and, probably, a fair amount of coffee!
Honour Roll Superstars
A big shoutout to our top achievers from the Progress Test—honour roll status unlocked! You’re smashing it, and we couldn’t be prouder.
Halloween Competition Winners
Our students got their spooky well-deserved prizes. From creepy costumes to creative class pics, you nailed it. We’re still recovering from the haunted vibes!
Fresh Upgrades
Our campuses now feature shiny new drinking fountains. Hydration goals: achieved!
Maratona Empreendedora
November saw the Dublin Campus buzzing with entrepreneurial energy at our “Maratona Empreendedora” event. Innovation and inspiration were in full swing!
Marvellous Morocco
A group of lucky students embarked on an unforgettable week in Morocco. Sand dunes, bustling markets, and, of course, tons of memories made.
