The Middle Years (Years 7-9) at Whitefriars are important as it allows boys to thrive in the abundance of exciting learning choices in the classroom, on the school campus, or in the community. Our world class learning programs, set in a natural environment, are the keys to your son's transformation into a confident, highly capable and gentle young man. <br><br>Recognising the significant and often rapid changes that occur in boys during the years of early adolescence and the transition from primary to secondary schooling, the staff at Whitefriars College work closely to provide a caring environment for our students. Teachers and Pastoral Care Teachers are therefore focused upon not only the academic progress of each individual, but are also attentive to their faith, personal development and wellbeing. Social justice, service, leadership and community experiences help our boys develop empathy, compassion and understanding as well as a focus on being change agents in the school community and global context.<br><br>Middle Years students are inquisitive and keen to explore what ignites their interest and enjoyment in their learning. The Whitefriars College Years 7-9 curriculum programs equip students with a solid foundation in knowledge and skills as outlined in the Religious Education Framework and Victorian Curriculum. Innovative and engaging studies inspire and assist students in finding their passion in learning to help prepare them for their senior years of study.
