In these times it is good to seek out any glimmer of light and hope. At Whitefriars engaging in this activity yields a wealth of examples. Examples of generosity, of creativity and a deep care for one another abound in normal times. During our Home Learning Program our students, parents and staff have taken this idea to a new level.
