Edmund Rice Education Australia

Edmund Rice Education Australia is an organisation established by the Congregation of Christian Brothers in Australia to own, govern, manage, and conduct education ministries in the [Roman Roman Catholic Church in Australia|Catholic Church in Australia|Catholic] tradition and in the charism of Blessed Edmund Ignatius Rice., EREA included 55 member schools.
EREA was established on 1October 2007 when the Christian Brothers decided to amalgamate separate Christian Brothers provinces in Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea to form an Oceania Province that was solely focused on the social justice mission of the Christian Brothers. The Christian Brothers' National Planning Committee for Schools Governance decided to form a separate body, Edmund Rice Education Australia, with the intention of independently implementing the educational mission of the Christian Brothers.
