At the conclusion of Mass, Merici’s school captains, Olivia Straker and Bronte Alexander, coordinated a whole school Trivia game with a twist! The students were challenged to learn more about the history of Merici College through the completion of quizzes and going to specific checkpoints to undertake team building activities in order to complete the challenge. The celebrations continued with a special fiesta afternoon with activities run by each House to raise funds for their respective charities.

On Tuesday 2 May, the students and staff of Ningil House celebrated the inaugural Ningil House Feast Day. The day began with prayer and reflection in Morning PC, where the formation of the Ningil Mission in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, as well as what it means to be a member of Ningil House today, were referenced. Later in the day, the House celebrated through reciting the House prayer, singing a rousing rendition of “I’m a Ningil House Kid” and sharing cake in what proved to be a most joyous atmosphere.

We hope all our Year 10 students and guests enjoyed the evening.
