Welcome Kylie Olsthoorn, Health and Physical Education Coordinator.
As many people would know, Türkiye and Syria have been struck by a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake. Thousands of deaths have been reported in Türkiye and Syria and the death toll is increasing by the hour. Freezing winter weather is only adding to the devastation, as the thousands left injured, trapped or homeless are stuck in bitter cold and rain.
Merici College will be having a uniform free day (with a suggestion of wearing red items of clothing or accessories in solidarity with the country's national colours).
Students, we would love to meet you!
Do you want to join an award-winning team and take part in sustainable actions at school to make a difference?
Come by our stall at the Activities Expo next Thursday to say hello, have a cookie and sign up for the year with SAM.
Bring a friend!
Felicity Maher
Sustainability Officer

It is such a joy to listen to the hive of activity and buzz of excitement filling the corridors of Merici College! I feel honoured to part of the Merici school community again this year and am very excited to see what 2023 will bring. One thing that I have learnt throughout 2022, is that Merici college is inclusive, supportive, and kind and I look forward to watching this thrive throughout the year.
I am excited to announce that this year we welcome a new member to our counselling team and the College community, Chelsea Kent.
So many happy, smiling faces this morning at Merici College. We wish all our students and staff a wonderful year!
