Associate SchoolsÂ
Associates are schools which, although not governed by EREA, desire to keep a connection to the charism of Blessed Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Rice. Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Rice Education Australia seeks to build a relationship with Catholic schools which see their mission in association with the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Rice tradition and Christian Brother heritage. Such schools may be interested in keeping their foundation story alive through enriching their understanding of and commitment to the charism of Âé¶¹´«Ã½. Schools wishing to enter such a relationship will be known as Associates of Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Rice Education.
Schools with no historical link to the Christian Brothers but which desire a connection to the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Rice charism are also welcomed to seek relationship through Association.
Associates are expected to make a commitment to core components of Identity and ensure a community understanding of the Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Rice charism through formation and participation in Âé¶¹´«Ã½ Rice ministries. They are invited to participate in formation and other programs offered by EREA and have access to publications and resources.
