Seeds of Peace for Ukraine Appeal

Submitted by mericiadmin on March 1, 2022 - 10:33am

Last week, a woman from Ukraine was choosing seeds to grow in her back garden as she prepared for spring. This week she is searching for seeds of hope as she prepares for homelessness. The voice of our collective hearts at Merici College cry out the injustice in Ukraine as we pray for peace and the end to the senseless malicious hostility. We assert our solidarity in faith with our global sisters.

Merici College World Day of Social Justice

Submitted by mericiadmin on February 21, 2022 - 10:11am

As a Catholic school and an IB World School, Merici College has a very strong focus on social justice. Our “Walking in the Shoes of the Other” art installation is an attempt to raise the awareness of the marginalized in our community. It coincides with World Social Justice Day. When we walk in the shoes of another, we empathise with those in need. In doing so we move from focusing on ourselves to look beyond - into the hearts of others.

Merici College Green Tip #3 - What can you do with used batteries?

Submitted by mericiadmin on February 18, 2022 - 12:18pm

Every year thousands of tonnes of batteries are used in Australia, many of which dangerously end up in landfills. 

The metals found in alkaline and rechargeable batteries include cadmium, mercury and lead. 

If left exposed, these metals can leak and contaminate the soil and groundwater, causing significant health and environmental risks.

Rechargeable batteries are considered hazardous waste and should never be thrown away as general waste.
