Ellie graduated from Merici College in 2003. The Merici College community were thrilled to welcome Ellie back to the College to present at our Academic Awards held in February 2021. Ellie spoke to the students about her life experiences since graduating from Merici College. Ellie was the House Captain of Balgo. Her love for radio began when she was 15. Her dream was to one day work at Canberra’s Hit 104.7 or 104.1 2DayFM in Sydney. By the age of 24, she accomplished both!
We recently asked members of our Alumni to provide a word that describes Merici College. Keep a look out for our #MericiMoment blogs as we will, over the next few months, share these words with you.

“Humbling - It was a supportive school with students and staff supporting you along the way. It was really a journey through to becoming the woman I am today.” Jessica Thompson, Class of 2010.
When I graduated in 2012 I felt that Merici had instilled in me the confidence to always challenge myself, try new things and live outside my comfort zone.
I graduated from Merici in 2012 and some of you may recognise me as I recently started working at Merici last year as the Relief Officer. Now, when I was first asked to speak at the awards ceremony, I laughed and said, are you sure? I’m just working here and studying to be a teacher… but I was assured that my story was interesting and that it would be of value to the students so here I am.
