About Whitefriars

Whitefriars College is a Catholic Boys’ Secondary College conducted by the Carmelite Order. The College motto, "Almae in Fide Parentis" (In the Protection of a Loving Mother) conveys something of the Order’s spirit and the way in which it endeavours to reach out to the students in its care.

Through our mission as a Catholic College, Whitefriars seeks to enable students to understand the principles and values of the Catholic faith and to experience these principles and values in a caring community to which they feel they belong. The staff at Whitefriars believes these ideals can only be realized in relation to students if they are also aimed for in the students’ homes.

The College staff relies heavily on the support of parents in the education of the boys entrusted to their care. We believe that a co-operative relationship between home and school provides the foundation for effectively pursuing the College's aims and ideals.

The major intake for students occurs at the Year 7 level, but students are welcome at other Year levels if vacancies exist.

Parents wishing to enrol their sons should contact the College for a Prospectus and Application for Enrolment Form and lodge it with the College before the child's Grade 6 year.

Applications for Year 7, 2011 close on Friday 26 February, 2010.
