EREA Governing Bodies 

EREA comprises five governing bodies that lead our schools across Australia. Each Governing Body has a Board and CEO. 

Our Governing Bodies are guided by the Charter for Catholic Schools in the Edmund Rice Tradition and work collaboratively with each other to ensure our schools provide a liberating education, based on a Gospel spirituality, within an inclusive community, committed to justice and solidarity.
