As the Merici College community gathered on Friday 4 August for St Angela Merici Day, we celebrated the life of Angela Merici, our Patron Saint, who will be remembered as a revolutionary woman and who continues to inspire us each day.
The celebratory activities commenced in Pastoral Care with students gifting a St Angela Merici medal ‘Pray For Us’ to another student in their PC group and exploring our College theme #COMMUNITAS. Students remembered St Angela as an educator of women from all classes of society.

We entend our congratulations to all our students for their academic achievements throughout Semester 1, 2023.
On Tuesday 1 August, we gathered as a community to congratulate and celebrate students who have a high level of academic achievement across all subjects and students who were recognised by their teachers in individual subjects in Semester 1. Year 7 students received awards for the first time which always bring some extra excitement.
Congratulations and thank you Ruby Brayshaw (Year 8) who had a significant hair cut during the school holidays. Ruby has always had long hair and this haircut was a big decision, made to benefit someone else. She cut off 40cm of her hair to donate to ‘Wigs 4 Kids’, her hair will be made into a wig for a child who is undergoing cancer treatment. Ruby hopes the wig will help to make the difficult journey through cancer treatment a little easier for the recipient. To donate your hair it needs to be at least 20cm length.
Wednesday 26 July was a heart-warming day as our Year 7 girls warmly welcomed their beloved grandparents to Merici College. It was an occasion filled with love, laughter, and appreciation for the special role grandparents play in our lives.The day began with a beautiful liturgy dedicated to celebrating the unique and cherished bond between grandparents and grandchildren. We honoured the wisdom, love, and guidance they generously share with us.
