Merici College Green Tip #2 - Our biodiversity restoration project will look like this in 5 years time!
Submitted by mericiadmin on February 16, 2023 - 12:06pmThe photo displayed is from the Fowles Street park in Weston which is the inspiration for our project here at Merici.
This was begun only five years ago by Alice Hathorn from ACT Urban Woodland Rescue who is guiding our project.
Valuable ecosystem services have been restored and 12 species of butterfly have returned to the area.
We are looking forward to seeing our hard work translate into the same beautiful outcome!

Help raise funds for Türkiye and Syria - this Friday 17 February
Submitted by mericiadmin on February 14, 2023 - 2:26pm
As many people would know, Türkiye and Syria have been struck by a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake. Thousands of deaths have been reported in Türkiye and Syria and the death toll is increasing by the hour. Freezing winter weather is only adding to the devastation, as the thousands left injured, trapped or homeless are stuck in bitter cold and rain.
Merici College will be having a uniform free day (with a suggestion of wearing red items of clothing or accessories in solidarity with the country's national colours).

Counsellors Corner - Welcome to 2023
Submitted by mericiadmin on February 2, 2023 - 10:03amIt is such a joy to listen to the hive of activity and buzz of excitement filling the corridors of Merici College! I feel honoured to part of the Merici school community again this year and am very excited to see what 2023 will bring. One thing that I have learnt throughout 2022, is that Merici college is inclusive, supportive, and kind and I look forward to watching this thrive throughout the year.
I am excited to announce that this year we welcome a new member to our counselling team and the College community, Chelsea Kent.
