Our School
What began as a small Christian Brothers' school for blind boys in a north shore house 58 years ago, now has a role and reputation beyond its walls.
Today 89 happy faces arrive each morning at St. Edmund's School Wahroonga to the school they love. A further 13 students enter the gates of St Leo's Catholic College where they attend our satellite class. These students live up to a 40 mile radius from Wahroonga and come from many socio economic groups. They are often in their special transport 'taxis' by 6.30am in order to arrive in time for an 8.30am start. A staff of 40 offers the warmth and care which permeates every facet of St Edmund's.
St Edmund's School evolved from a school catering expressly for boys who were blind to one that is now:
- An independent co-educational secondary school which is a Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition and administered by the Christian Brothers, for students Years 7 to 12 with a wide range of disabilities including sensory impairment, intellectual disability and autism.
- As an alternative for their children's education we offer parents the opportunity of a satellite class in Years 7 to 10 at nearby St. Leo's Catholic College.
Our history is rich and miracles happen every day at St. Edmund's. It is a school our community is very proud of.
