Here is our green tip for the week:
Did you know….
In the A.C.T. you can recycle your disposable coffee cups!
The A.C.T. Recycling Centre has equipment designed specifically to break-down and recycle this material.
But …. KeepCups are still more environmentally friendly and a great idea for a Father’s Day gift!

We would like to thank our families who participated in the Family Art Workshops. The program was very successful, giving our families an opportunity to make a lasting memento of their year at Merici. The event ran over two workshops: Thursday 3 August (Workshop 1: Development) and Thursday 17 August (Workshop 2: Completion of Work) with families creating wonderful art pieces.
Our article today fits in beautifully with National Science Week and we celebrate the achievements of Minh Huynh in the field of Science and wish her continued success.
"After graduating from Merici College in 1998, I moved to Sydney to do a Bachelor of Medical Science at the University of Sydney and went on to complete Honours and a PhD in Pathology. The aim of my thesis was to investigate and understand how cancer cells invade and spread throughout the body.
