Fr Noel Kierce, O.Carm Scholarship – Students entering Year 7 and Year 9
In celebration of our 60 year anniversary, Whitefriars College, a Catholic school for boys in the Carmelite tradition, introduced the Fr Noel Kierce, O.Carm Scholarship for entry into Year 7 and 9.
Fr Kierce commenced his association with Whitefriars College in 1968 as a teacher. Fr Kierce completed a Master of Education from Columbia University (specialising in the teaching of History) in 1975 and 1976. In 1977 he was appointed as Acting Principal and was then appointed as Principal in 1978 until 1988. Before returning to Whitefriars in 1991 as a teaching Chaplain for two years, he completed a Master of Education (Pastoral Guidance) at Catholic College of Education, Sydney. He returned again to Whitefriars as Chaplain in 1999, where he remained until his passing in 2015.
Fr Kierce was an innovator, a leader, a confidante, a kind soul and a gentle man. He was dedicated to the College and the development of the young men in his care, always encouraging involvement in all aspects of life. Fr Kierce had a strong belief that one must look for God, and goodness, in people; a hallmark of being a Carmelite.
