Merici College Green Tip #36 - Quote to ponder ...
Submitted by mericiadmin on August 24, 2022 - 9:44amWhile the origin of these words has been attributed to several sources, the words are as relevant today as they were when they were first spoken in the 1800's.
Something to think about......

Merici College Green Tip #35 - Rewilding at Merici College
Submitted by mericiadmin on August 19, 2022 - 12:32pmThe sun came out on a winter's day in August for 20 students from the Sustainability at Merici (SAM) student group who gathered to do some rewilding with local species from the Yellow Box- Blakely's Red Gum Grassy Woodland, one of Canberra's key ecosystems.
Thanks to Merici's maintenance staff who prepared the area everything was ready for a great planting session.
Work began as the girls spent their lunch hour planting to provide habitat for small native birds and butterflies.

St Vinnies Oodie/Hoodie/PJs Day
Submitted by mericiadmin on August 16, 2022 - 12:46pmUnfortunately due to CE COVID protocols, Merici College staff and students were unable to participate in the St Vinnies Sleepout to raise money and awareness for the homeless in our community. Instead, the students and staff held a Hoodies/Oodies/PJs Day on Thursday 4 August. We were overwhelmed with the high level of participation and over $2,000 was raised on the day.
Thanks everyone! #mericipride
2022 Can Line
Submitted by mericiadmin on August 16, 2022 - 12:09pmFor the last five weeks, the students at Merici College have been collecting cans of food for the most vulnerable in our community. TcSt Vinnies and OzHarvest were overwhelmed by the thousands of cans donated. As a result, many families in our wider community will be comforted by the contributions from Merici College.
Congratulations everyone for an outstanding effort and special congratulations to Balgo House for collecting the most cans and winning House points.
