Welcome to Edmund Rice Flexible Schools NSW
As the NSW Area Principal for Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) Flexible Schools, I warmly welcome you to our community.
At the heart of our work is a deep commitment to walking alongside young people who have often experienced barriers to education. Guided by our four touchstones of Gospel Spirituality, Inclusive community, Liberating Education , Justice and Solidarity, our schools offer a transformative approach to learning that places the dignity and potential of every young person at the centre.
Our vision is to create inclusive, hope-filled learning spaces where young people are empowered to re-engage in their education journey. Our purpose is to stand in solidarity with young people, fostering their agency, voice, and pathways to positive futures.
We work in partnership with families, communities, and support services to ensure that each young person is known, respected, and supported to thrive.
Whether you are a young person, parent, carer or community partner, we welcome you to our flexible schools with open hearts and open minds. Together, we are building a future of belonging, learning, and opportunity.
Warm regards,
Stephanie McConnell
NSW Area Principal
