Dear Year 7 2022 Students, Parents and Guardians

It was so lovely to meet you all online last night. Thank you so much for joining with us. We are very excited to have you joining our community in 2022.

Below is the presentation from last night, with included notes from our speeches for you to read through. Also below is all the information you will need in regards to our BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Program at Merici. It has all the contact details in case you have any further questions.

Year 12 Students

All Catholic Education Year 12 students can return to on-campus learning at the start of Term 4, which begins on Tuesday 5 October. We look forward to welcoming your young person back to our College.

Attention: Year 12 Students, Parents and Carers

Please see below important information from the BSSS around ATAR release:

Release of the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)

The release of the ATAR will be delayed until Thursday 20 January 2022.

The ACT BSSS works closely with the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) to produce the ATAR so that ACT students can apply for direct university admission.

New students starting in Term 4 and/or current students requiring summer uniform items, please be reassured that the uniform shop will reopen once restrictions are eased and all orders will be filled in time for the recommencement of school. More information on hours of operation will be sent out after ACT Government announcements are made.

Congratulations to Caelan Edghill who has been crowned State Champion for the ACT in the Year 9 division of the 2021 Australian History Competition. Merici students entered the competition in May, an exam-based test which demands of students an excellent level of historical knowledge and skills. Congratulations to Caelan, a deserving winner of this medal, and a promising historian.

This week we will be participating in R U OK? Day on Thursday, 9 September which is a national day of action where Australians are reminded that every day is the day to ask, “are you okay?” if someone they know is struggling. Whilst working in lockdown, checking in on one another’s wellbeing is more important than ever.

Dear Parents, Carers and Year 12 students

The ACT Government has announced that year 12 students have been prioritised for the  COVID-19 vaccination.

This year continues to be a challenging time for our families and students as we all strive to support our young people to complete their schooling journey. As parents and carers, you understand how significant having the opportunity to complete senior secondary studies is to year 12 students. This includes practical assessments and AST tests.
