Remembrance Day, Lest We Forget

Submitted by mericiadmin on November 11, 2021 - 9:00am

Today is Remembrance Day. A reminder we will pause as a College community this morning for a reflection.

 

Prayer: Compassionate God,

In whose hands are the destinies of this and every nation,

We give you thanks for the freedoms we enjoy in this land

And for those who laid down their lives to defend them:

We pray that we and all the people of Australia,

Gratefully remembering their courage and their sacrifice,

May have the grace to live in a spirit of justice, of generosity, and of peace;

Through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Merici College Green Tip #35 - What do you do with your sports shoes at the end of their life?

Submitted by mericiadmin on November 10, 2021 - 12:13pm

More than 110 million shoes are imported into Australia each year.

One quarter of these are sports shoes with only 1% collected and recycled after use. 

Shoe components take over 1000 years to break down.

This is a significant environmental concern. 

​When footwear is thrown out, not only do we miss the chance to divert tonnes of landfill, we miss out on the valuable opportunity to reclaim, recycle, repurpose and reuse. 

Enter TreadLightly - a national recycling initiative where you can take your unwanted sports and lifestlyle footwear to be recycled.
