Announcements

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.

Dear Parents and Carers,

Congratulations to Pragnya Gupta (Year 11) who has been awarded a scholarship into the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) Year 12 Program for 2022. Pragnya is very fortunate to have been offered a full financial scholarship by the Rotary Club of Ginninderra for her participation in the program.

Congratulations to Elizabeth Ween (Year 11) who has been awarded a scholarship and granted acceptance into the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) Year 12 Program. The NYSF is a two week in-person and digital - science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) experience for current Year 11 students across Australia. Elizabeth heard about this opportunity during her Year 10 Transitions Week and couldn't feel more privileged to have been granted this scholarship. #mericipride
