St Edmund’s College Canberra, a Catholic School in the Edmund Rice Tradition, has been educating boys from Year 4 to Year 12 for 70 years. Since 1954, the College has seen over 11,000 boys grow into fine young men with generations of families passing through the halls. We strive to deliver a holistic Catholic education for boys which incorporates academic, faith, sporting and extra-curricular pursuits. We believe in preparing boys for life, helping them focus on their strengths and better themselves as individuals in the years they spend at the College.
Inspired by the charism of Edmund Rice, the St Edmund’s College Foundation was established to give financial assistance to marginalized or disadvantaged families so that the cost of educating their sons would be alleviated. We support, challenge, and educate our students while providing a diverse program of cultural, pastoral, and sporting experiences to enrich their growth and development. Boys attending St Edmund’s have access to an extensive choice of subjects, a wide variety of co-curricular options, both sporting and cultural, and the opportunity to engage with the community through social justice programs.
As part of the Edmund Rice Education Australia (EREA) network, St Edmund’s College Canberra is deeply rooted in the Catholic education tradition of Blessed Edmund Rice. The College emphasizes personal development, teamwork, resilience, and the pursuit of personal goals. Families of students become part of a vibrant and diverse community that extends beyond the school grounds, fostering an atmosphere of empowerment and engagement. With a focus on relevance and adaptability, the curriculum at St Edmund’s continually evolves to reflect changing academic, career, and trade opportunities, ensuring that students are well-prepared for the future.
