    WELCOME TO WHITEFRIARS Whitefriars College was established as a Catholic Secondary School for boys by the Carmelite Order of Priests and Brothers in 1961 in response to the strong demand by Catholic families for schools in which to educate their children in the tradition of their faith. As the years have passed and the College has grown, non-Catholics have also been welcomed into the Whitefriars community, but in essence Whitefriars has remained a Catholic school in the Carmelite tradition. The Carmelite tradition is traced back to the Holy Land of the late 12th century. There, a small group of Christians who had come from Europe as part of the Crusades, established themselves as a community of hermits on Mount Carmel. Whilst circumstances forced these early Carmelites to abandon both Mount Carmel and their hermit way of life, they took with them, as they eventually spread throughout the world, the spirit of both their original birthplace and the way of life associated with it. To this day, Carmelites endeavour to witness to the presence of God in people, in nature, in the Word of God and in the deepest recesses of the human spirit. Wherever they go and whatever they do, including education, Carmelites endeavour to cultivate a spirit of prayer and reflection, a commitment to justice and peace – expressed in the service of others, a respect for and a welcome of the individual and a keen sense of belonging to a community. Carmelites live ‘in allegiance to Jesus Christ’ and draw on the inspiration of Mary his mother, Elijah – the Prophet of Mount Carmel, and the many holy men and women who have followed the Carmelite ‘way’ in their lives.

  • Monday 18 July, Page 13: GENTLEMEN V PLAYERS
    Wednesday 4 January, page 8: “WISDEN” AND THE L.-B.-W. RULE Cricketers have long learned to look to “Wisden” for something more than a mere dry return of the year’s work, and this winter they are treated to a very full discussion on one of cricket’s most debatable rules – the law as to leg before wicket. Not since the spirited controversy carried on in the columns of The Times on the following on “incident” in the University match at Lord’s in 1896 has there been such an authoritative discussion as is now presented to us in “Wisden.” It will be remembered that Mr E V Bligh proposed to amend the l-b-w rule to – “Or if, standing in the direct line between the two wickets, with any part of his person he stops the ball, which, in the opinion of the umpire at the bowler’s wicket would have hit the striker’s wicket – leg before wicket.” With considerable enterprise, the editor of “Wisden” sought the opinion of leading cricketers on the subject, and he has secured a wonderful harvest of interesting matter. Perhaps the abuse of the pads has called for some slight change in this particular law of the game, which might be so modified that an umpire should be able to place a wider construction on its lettering than he can do at present. Robert Thoms, the veteran Middlesex professional, lays it down that “The bat ought to play the ball that is about to hit the wicket, and in a spirit of fairness, if the bowler, by extra spin or break back, can beat the batsman, it seems but right that he should have the benefit of his skill .
