We had many teams compete at North High School and ACT School Sport events in sports such as athletics, swimming, cross country, soccer, AFL, cricket, hockey, netball, volleyball, touch football, soccer, ultimate frisbee, softball, golf, snow and oztag.
As well as these one-day events, Merici entered teams in volleyball, netball, sailing, rowing, softball, basketball and snow sports as co-curricular weekend activities.

It is National Recycling Week which is a good time to think about the other side of the recycling equation - buying products made from recycled material!
Congratulations to Merici College Eleanor Coleman, Year 11 who was awarded the Audrey Fagan's Enrichment Grant, presented to her by the ACT Minister for Women Yvette Berry. The Audrey Fagan Young Women’s Enrichment Grants highlight the ACT Government’s commitment to the development of opportunities for young women.

What is the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) Personal Project?
The Personal Project is one of the most exciting parts of the IB MYP journey. It is mostly completed in Year 10 (from 2021) and involves students synthesising their learning and skills from the MYP to develop a project that they are passionate about that uses a process of inquiry and reflection. Students define goals based on personal interests, they develop a set of success criteria to evaluate themselves against while reflecting on the process.
Who can forget the alarming clothing waste depicted in the ABC's War on Waste. The mountain of clothing which Australian's throw out every 10 minutes weighs approximately 6000 kilograms. That's 36 000 kilograms of clothing each hour.
