Every girl has the power inside her to be independent and she deserves the space, support and belief to discover this for herself. Visit us at our Open Day on Wednesday 3 May or register for a Be a Merici Girl Day.
At school, home and work in the ACT look for yellow bins. Into these bins, please put only glass jars and bottles, plastic containers, cans, paper and cardboard.
Nothing else and definitely no food or soft plastics.
Thanks for doing your part to reduce waste to landfill.

I don’t know about you, but we feel as though term one has flown by!
We hope that all students have settled into the school year and feel proud of what they have achieved this term. I think we are all starting to feel the fatigue of the term, feeling a bit drained and looking forward to a well-earned break!
What made you apply for an exchange program?
Way back in 2014, when I was in Year 2, my family went on a ‘big trip’ around Europe – we spent a week in Berlin, and I was hooked (looking back, it was probably the colourful, life-size bear statues we ran into wherever we went). I’ve been taking German lessons ever since. The more I learned about the language and culture, the more I craved to be there, in Germany, surrounded by it all – an exchange seemed like the perfect opportunity for me.

What do you do when you have leftover food?
According to foodbank.org.au:
In Australia, 7.6 million tonnes of food is wasted every year.
While 70% of this food is still perfectly edible, 1 in 6 Australian adults haven’t had enough to eat in the last year.
On top of this, 1.2 million children have gone hungry during the same period.
So what should you do with leftover food?
