Celebrating Mr Smith’s National Recognition at EREA Awards

Last weekend, our Assistant Principal (Identity), Mr Nick Smith, was honoured with the Gospel Spirituality Award at the EREA Charter Leadership Awards 2025.

These awards celebrate four exceptional educators from across the national EREA network, recognising those who embody the very best of what a Catholic education in the Edmund Rice tradition represents—a living expression of the Touchstones in action every day.

National recognition speaks volumes about who Mr Smith is. He is a leader of integrity and vision, deeply committed to faith, justice and community. His work demonstrates compassion, collaboration and a global outlook, fostering meaningful partnerships with schools and organisations both locally and internationally.

These qualities continue to shine through his time at St Bernard’s College, as shown in the accompanying photos, which offer a glimpse into the man behind this well-deserved award—respected by all and leading with heart and purpose.

Congratulations, Mr Smith, on this outstanding achievement!
