Student Exchange Experience - Harriette Maguire

Submitted by mericiadmin on March 1, 2023 - 9:48am

Back in 2018, I visited Italy with my family which was such a memorable experience, so I decided to start learning the language when I came to Merici in Year 7. When the WEP overseas exchange experience came up, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to go back to Italy and be able to use all the language skills that Merici had taught me over the past 4 years. Especially after the pandemic, I was so excited to travel and be able to see new places again. I went into it trying not to set any expectations, which prompted me to have an open mind.

Counsellor's Corner - Settling into School

Submitted by mericiadmin on February 16, 2023 - 1:45pm

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.

Merici College Green Tip #2 - Our biodiversity restoration project will look like this in 5 years time!

Submitted by mericiadmin on February 16, 2023 - 12:06pm

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!

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).
