The activities at Nairana Study Centre are inspired by the teachings of St Josemaria Escriva, founder of Opus Dei. Nairana is an undertaking of Educational Development Association (EDA), a not-for-profit company registered in New South Wales. EDA has entrusted the spiritual and doctrinal orientation of Nairana’s activities to the Opus Dei Prelature.

Question to Mums of current students
Why do you send your sons to Nairana?
“Nairana is a place that fosters independence, gives them a sense of adventure and fun in a way that aligns with our values and morals as a family. It also helps them to develop friendships with other like-minded boys and families. ”
SW

AL
“I know that my sons are in good company at Nairana with fine men who they can imitate. I want my boys to grow into fine men. At Nairana, they learn about virtues, how to love your neighbors, how to be good friends, how to be charitable ….”

“Nairana helps them to develop a spirit of service, to challenge them to look outside themselves. The workcamps and service projects are a testament of that, helping people less fortunate than them really changes their perspective on life.”
