PRINCIPLED

We act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness and justice, and with respect for the dignity and rights of people everywhere. We take responsibility for our actions and their consequences.

We would like to congratulate all the staff and students involved with the Music Presentation Night on Friday 23 November. It was a tremendous evening, very well attended by parents and families and they were a very appreciative audience.There were approximately 90 students involved in the various music ensembles: Choir, Junior and Senior Band. Jazz Band and String ensemble. All the bands and solo performers sounded so great  - it was a very entertaining evening and we certainly have an abundance of extremely talented students at Merici.

We congratulate Year 12 students Sarah Drew and Lauren Paterson who have both received an achievement certificate and a prize for their short story entries in the LitLinks competition which is a creative writing competition open to all ACT school students in Years 7-12.

Well done and congratulations girls!

We would like to thank you for providing feedback on our bus service to areas of South Canberra. Our bus service provider, Deanes, have investigated and timed suggestions of route changes that you have put forward. Unfortunately some suggestions have not been able to be included in the route as these changes would add excessive travel time, however some have. We are pleased to advise that slight detours in the existing route may accommodate students living in Waramanga, Fisher and possibly Stirling.

Good afternoon students and staff. This year Bronte and I will share our own individual reflections as we have both gained so much out of the year individually and together.
