Whitefriars College

Whitefriars College was established as a Catholic Secondary School for boys by the Carmelite Order of Priests and Brothers in 1961 in response to the strong demand by Catholic families for schools in which to educate their children in the tradition of their faith. Our diverse academic, environmental, spiritual, sporting and cultural curriculum is underpinned by the innovative use of tablet computer technology, providing powerful tools for teaching and learning. The use of tablet computers is appropriately integrated into a student's day to day work. Boys learn differently. Our teachers specialise in teaching boys and our curriculum features exciting and challenging programs to make learning fun, inspiring and engaging; in a safe, nurturing, educational environment. Our committed staff inspire students to strive for high personal achievement, to be their best, to develop confidence and a strong sense of direction. We are committed to continuous improvement in learning, personal development, facilities and resources, all of which provide the basis for rich and extended learning. Being able to inquire, explore, experiment and communicate within and beyond the classroom improves the quality of student learning. Our programs provide tools and strategies enabling development of skills that are increasingly important to quickly find, critically sift and analyse a variety of information sources; to share and critique ideas (near and far); and to create, refine and present ideas clearly, effectively and efficiently, in a variety of ways. The grounding students receive during their Whitefriars years produces responsible, generous and capable men. Students become happy in themselves, healthy in their relationships, confident in their abilities and ready to pursue success in all aspects of their lives. Whitefriars has a clear focus on learning and teaching to engage boys, enhance their sense of connection and develop their God given talents.
