A Melbourne Catholic boys school has settled a case between two students after a boy, in year 7 at the time, was allegedly raped by a student in year 12.

The victim and his family sued Whitefriars College for negligence arguing the boy has suffered severe post traumatic stress disorder and borderline personality traits from the incident.

The school declined to answer questions about the incident, including whether they have made any policy changes to protect students in the future.
