Now in its fourth year, Big Sister Science Day continues to provide invaluable learning opportunities for primary school students and support to teachers in delivering Science curriculum in primary school education.
We are pleased to announce the appointment of Phil Coe to the position of Deputy Principal, Development.
Prior to this appointment, Phil has worked as Head of Senior School at Merici College for the past 7 years, was Head of Information Technology at the Grey Coat school in central London for 4 years, a teacher at St Mary Mackillop Catholic College for 2 years and worked for 7 years as a Business Analysis/Computer Programmer at Airservices Australia immediately after completing university.
Congratulations to Merici College who has been named one of the 2017 Innovative Schools in The Educator magazine! The Educator received a record number of entries this year so being selected as one of the final 40 nationwide is a fantastic achievement. Our submission provided details of our Sustainability/Healthy Canteen/Kitchen Garden Program.
It was a pleasure welcoming students and staff from Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Thamarrurr Catholic College in Wadeye, Northern Territory during this week. On Monday the students spent a day at Merici attending classes and participated in an AFL game at lunch time. On Wednesday our students; Lily Coleman, Eleanor Coleman and Genevieve Sandeman spent a rewarding morning at Tidbinbilla with the Wadeye students and Marist. The students spent time with two of the Indigenous Rangers learning about the local plants, wildlife and traditional artifacts of the Ngunnawal people.

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!
