The CDSC SEAL offerings recognise that individual students will excel in different areas. The SEAL offerings are focused on identifying students who are excelling in a particular area and working with the individual student to foster and nurture their talents to support them to continue to excel. 

Each individual Year 10-12 SEAL offering is open to all students across the college, subject to eligibility requirements, with a range of opportunities offered across all Year levels.
