Congratulations to Caelan Edghill who has been crowned State Champion for the ACT in the Year 9 division of the 2021 Australian History Competition. Merici students entered the competition in May, an exam-based test which demands of students an excellent level of historical knowledge and skills. Congratulations to Caelan, a deserving winner of this medal, and a promising historian.
This week we will be participating in R U OK? Day on Thursday, 9 September which is a national day of action where Australians are reminded that every day is the day to ask, “are you okay?” if someone they know is struggling. Whilst working in lockdown, checking in on one another’s wellbeing is more important than ever.
Dear Parents, Carers and Year 12 students
The ACT Government has announced that year 12 students have been prioritised for the COVID-19 vaccination.
This year continues to be a challenging time for our families and students as we all strive to support our young people to complete their schooling journey. As parents and carers, you understand how significant having the opportunity to complete senior secondary studies is to year 12 students. This includes practical assessments and AST tests.
Happy Father’s Day to all our fathers or other father figures (such as stepfather, grandfather, uncle or close family friend)! Each year around Father’s Day, we host a Father-Daughter Mass and Dinner. Due to current restrictions, we have had to cancel the usual celebration and instead, to celebrate the father figures in our students’ lives, we have put together a virtual reflection video to the fathers in the Merici community, to thank them and celebrate their impact on their daughters’ lives.
The SAM team (Sustainability at Merici) are selling lettuces grown on site and nurtured in our greenhouse to raise funds for their new team t-shirt.
In addition to supporting our students, growing your own lettuce provides many sustainability benefits:
