Dear Community,
Please refer to our Enrolling Now flyer which provides information on our activities and events.
I am pleased to advise that I have commenced enrolment interviews for 2024. If you are interested in submitting an enrolment application, please follow the link https://www.merici.act.edu.au/enrolment. Please ensure that all supporting documentation is uploaded as required. Documentation includes:
For the creatives, a competition from the ACT government:
DrainART Competition
It’s been a busy start to the school year and we hope that all students are starting to settle in to their new routines and schedules. As we begin to embark on our academic journey together, we thought that it would be a good time to remind students and their families of some good study habits to set themselves up well to achieve their goals.

The 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!

Welcome Kylie Olsthoorn, Health and Physical Education Coordinator.
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).
Students, we would love to meet you!
Do you want to join an award-winning team and take part in sustainable actions at school to make a difference?
Come by our stall at the Activities Expo next Thursday to say hello, have a cookie and sign up for the year with SAM.
Bring a friend!
