Merici College World Day of Social Justice

As a Catholic school and an IB World School, Merici College has a very strong focus on social justice. Our “Walking in the Shoes of the Other” art installation is an attempt to raise the awareness of the marginalized in our community. It coincides with World Social Justice Day. When we walk in the shoes of another, we empathise with those in need. In doing so we move from focusing on ourselves to look beyond - into the hearts of others.

Merici College Green Tip #3 - What can you do with used batteries?

Every year thousands of tonnes of batteries are used in Australia, many of which dangerously end up in landfills. 

The metals found in alkaline and rechargeable batteries include cadmium, mercury and lead. 

If left exposed, these metals can leak and contaminate the soil and groundwater, causing significant health and environmental risks.

Rechargeable batteries are considered hazardous waste and should never be thrown away as general waste.
