Episode Six of Carmelite Stories reflects on the strength of community at Whitefriars College.
Working bees.
Parents painting and planting.
Families giving their time.
And in moments of crisis, standing together.
The fires in Donvale reminded us that community is not an idea.
It is action.
For 65 years,
Whitefriars has been built not only by staff and students, but by parents,
Old Collegians and neighbours who believed in this place.
Community is presence.
It is generosity.
It is showing up when it matters most.
The hill has always been stronger because of the people who care for it.
