⚽ Another win for the Friars!

It’s been a fantastic week for soccer at Whitefriars College, with success across multiple year levels—and our Year 9 team has added another result to celebrate, defeating St Bede’s 2–1.

Congratulations to the players and to coach Mr Williams on a hard-fought team performance. Your commitment, teamwork and determination continue to make the College proud.

Well done, boys! 💙💛

There are moments in the life of a school that remind us what community truly means.

In this special episode of In Fide, Principal Mark Murphy reflects on a period of grief, uncertainty and loss, and the extraordinary compassion shown by our students, staff, families and the wider Catholic education community.

It's a heartfelt conversation about presence, hope and the quiet power of walking alongside one another when it matters most.

Our Year 11 VM students are gaining valuable real-world experience through their Structured Work Placements, developing practical skills and exploring future career pathways.

A big thank you to Alan Lennox Motors in Doncaster and Fautruss Constructions ( instagram.com/fautruss_constructions/ ) for providing our students with these fantastic opportunities. Your support and willingness to mentor the next generation is greatly appreciated.

We are proud to see our boys embracing every opportunity to learn, contribute and grow in professional workplace environments.
