#MericiMoment Easter
Each year at Merici College, many of our students such as our Angela's Angels (Merici Youth Ministry), Junior Drama, Student Leaders and Dance present a powerful Easter liturgy to our community, reflecting on the significance of Jesus' life, death and resurrection through important events in Holy Week, including the Stations of the Cross. In our world today there is much suffering and we focus on Easter as a period of encouragement and hope during these uncertain times.

Why did you chose to study the IB Diploma Program at Merici College?
Submitted by mericiadmin on April 6, 2020 - 11:14am
I chose IB because I've always been interested in doing new classes, and IB is very different from the structure I'm used to. I hope the IB DP challenges me because I want to expand my horizons. For me, the IB is a new pathway that I can use to better myself and be a well rounded person. Preashika Dhakal, Year 11

COVID-19 Update from the Principal
Submitted by mericiadmin on March 31, 2020 - 12:09pm
Dear Parents and Carers
In order to support all staff to provide remote learning programs in Term 2, the College will be providing all staff with professional learning for the last week of term from Monday 6 April to Thursday 9 April.
This professional learning will enhance the learning programs we will be able to offer in remote modes in Term 2.
In order to support the professional learning of staff, I ask all parents and carers to make alternative arrangements for their daughters.
What's a Concept in the IB MYP Framework?
Submitted by mericiadmin on March 31, 2020 - 11:40amIn the MYP framework, concepts represent the big ideas which form the heart of a connected curriculum. Known as KEY CONCEPTS these ideas are shared across subjects with the aim of unifying the student’s academic experience. Students are invited to see connections and alternative perspectives, as different subjects may refer to the same key concept, however, with different learning experiences students will experience new ways of thinking. Concepts are not just single words but rather complex ideas that shape the student experience (Barnard, 2016).

We have been working hard to keep your daughters engaged in their learning and preparing for a remote learning world.
