We congratulate the following Year 10 students who are scholarship recipients for Year 11 and 12 over the next two years as they embark on their Senior Secondary studies in 2020 and 2021. This year Merici has also included a Vocational Scholarship for a student progressing from Year 11 to Year 12.
Year 7 students participated in the inaugural combined Marist-Merici College Days earlier this week. Entitled ‘Respectful Relationships’, this new initiative was designed by Marist College and Merici College to bring the brother-sister schools together for ice breaker games, Youth Ministry activities and a ‘Choices, Decisions, Outcomes (CDO)’ relationship building session.

It is with great pleasure we can announce we are now an IB World School and have been awarded authorisation to deliver the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) from 2020.
We are the only Catholic high school to offer the Diploma Programme in Canberra, adding options for a quality international education to our community.
Today the combined water total for our four water storage dams in Canberra is 55.73% according to ICON water. This is as we start the last month of winter when traditionally we receive most of our rainfall.
Here at Merici we are focused on water conservation at all times but this Term in particular as we aim for our accreditation in water from ACTsmart schools.

Grandparent’s Day 2019 is an important event in the life of our Merici College community. We want to strengthen the bonds that already exist between our students and their grandparents. In doing so, our students will be well on their way to becoming successful women who love God as they journey through life. We would like to thank all our grandparents for coming along to our special prayer reflection and morning tea!
Imogene Blake has been selected as one of just five year-11 Canberra students to attend the National Constitutional Convention next year. This comes after competing in the ACT Constitutional Convention at parliament a couple of weeks ago. Imogene’s selection is a rare honour. Also represented will be Canberra Grammar, Radford, Dickson and Daramalan, two girls and three boys. The Convention will be an intense experience of debating and deliberating with students from all states and territories over three days in March, to make recommendations to the Federal Parliament.
