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.

Thanks and appreciation are extended to all students from Merici College and Marist College who participated in the 'Stop Fear Spread Hope' Domestic Violence Awareness Campaign and Art Exhibition.

We congratulate the following students who were awarded special prizes at the Exhibition.

Tiana Cotterill (Overall Winner), Jessica Morris (Best in Merici College), Minh Truong (Best in Marist College), Olivia Miles (Best Set), Jacinta Wrights (Best Set).

We thank all our community for coming along to the Exhibition and supporting this campaign.

We would like to thank our families who participated in the Family Art Workshops. The program was very successful, giving our families an opportunity to make a lasting memento of their year at Merici. The event ran over two workshops: Thursday 3 August (Workshop 1: Development) and Thursday 17 August (Workshop 2: Completion of Work) with families creating wonderful art pieces.
