About Whitefriars College

A school day at Whitefriars College unfolds in Donvale, among Melbourne’s eastern suburbs where residential streets meet bushland and the Mullum Mullum Creek corridor. The college is a Catholic boys’ secondary school in the Carmelite tradition, with an education shaped by faith, service and the development of independent young men.

Rather than choosing a specialist higher-education field, international enrolments here are for secondary schooling. Teaching prepares boys across the breadth of the Victorian school curriculum, with the senior years leading towards the Victorian Certificate of Education. Co-curricular life is an important part of the experience, particularly sport, music and service activities, alongside classroom learning.

Whitefriars will suit families seeking a boys’ school with a clear Catholic identity and a suburban Melbourne setting rather than an inner-city campus. Donvale is a quieter base than central Melbourne, so it may suit a student who values a school-centred routine and access to the city without living in its centre. It may be less suitable for those looking for a coeducational environment or the independence of a city-based college.
