Announcements

We would like to acknowledge the wonderful contribution made by students which, in no small part, contributed to the success of our Open Day. Over 400 students participated in Open Day activities during the day and into the night. The students were all wonderful ambassadors for our school and we have received excellent feedback from all our visitors on your exceptional skills in conducting school tours, participating in classroom activities, and presenting dance and drama performances.

Congratulations to Taylah Ellems who represented Merici College and played in the Schools Sport ACT Golf Championship. She had a fantastic round with a score of 77 and won by one shot. Taylah is the ACT SSSA Golf Girls Champion for 2017. Fantastic achievement Taylah!

Chloe Richard represented Merici College in the Snowy Mountains Interschools Equestrian Competition from 27-30 April.  There were over 200 riders from across the state and riders competed in a number of disciplines including dressage, show jumping, cross-country, sporting and stock horse classes.  Chloe’s horse Apache is very new to the competition arena so they faced many challenges over the 4 days with their favourite events being cross-country and show jumping.  They came home with 3 second place ribbons and learnt a lot over the duration of the competition.
