About us

EREA BlendED National is a network of registered secondary schools, offering a dual engagement model of education. EREA BlendED National is an initiative of Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA), with a growing footprint across Australia.

We exist for young people experiencing school can't, wanting to learn but currently unable to manage a traditional classroom for a range of complex reasons, which may include trauma, anxiety, disability, bullying, or other barriers to engagement.

Our dual engagement model combines teacher-led virtual face-to-face learning, regular in-person gatherings, and ongoing wellbeing support. Learning is guided by Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) developed alongside young people and their families. Through strengths-based, neuroaffirming and trauma-informed practice, we create an inclusive and empowering workplace where young people can reconnect with education and thrive academically, socially and emotionally.

Our Young People

Our young people come from diverse backgrounds and may experience complex educational, social, developmental, environmental, psychological, health or legal barriers to learning. We recognise that each young person's journey is unique and work from a strengths-based, neuroaffirming and trauma-informed framework that prioritises connection, participation and individual growth.

Our Values

EREA BlendED National operates under four key principles that guide our daily interactions and community culture:

- Respect
- Honesty
- Participation
- Safe and Legal

Known as Operation by Principles (OBP), this framework provides a shared foundation for young people, families and staff, ensuring relationships and learning are grounded in mutual understanding, accountability and unconditional positive regard.
