Over 200 students participated in Open Day activities during the day and into the night. The students were all wonderful ambassadors for our school and we have received excellent feedback from all our visitors on your exceptional skills in conducting school tours, participating in Science, Mathematics, Food Technology, Art and Textiles classroom activities, presenting dance, music, vocal and drama performances. In particular, our visitors commented on how our students spoke about Merici life with such pride and enthusiasm.
Used paper towel is often found in the yellow recycling bins at Merici.
Paper towels are not recyclable and cannot be disposed of alongside your other paper and cardboard recyclables.
Although paper towels are typically made using wood or cardboard, the process that gets them kitchen-ready makes them non-recyclable.
Plus, they can also be contaminated with toxic or non-organic products.
Unbleached paper towels can go in the compost.
Others must sadly go to landfill.
Get a plant!
Australians spend around 90% of their time indoors.
Studies show that indoor air is more polluted than outdoor air.
Indoor plants are an easy and attractive way to purify the air in your home and workplace.
Keep them away from your pets though!

Every girl has the power inside her to be independent and she deserves the space, support and belief to discover this for herself. Visit us at our Open Day on Wednesday 3 May or register for a Be a Merici Girl Day.
At school, home and work in the ACT look for yellow bins. Into these bins, please put only glass jars and bottles, plastic containers, cans, paper and cardboard.
Nothing else and definitely no food or soft plastics.
Thanks for doing your part to reduce waste to landfill.

I don’t know about you, but we feel as though term one has flown by!
We hope that all students have settled into the school year and feel proud of what they have achieved this term. I think we are all starting to feel the fatigue of the term, feeling a bit drained and looking forward to a well-earned break!
What made you apply for an exchange program?
Way back in 2014, when I was in Year 2, my family went on a ‘big trip’ around Europe – we spent a week in Berlin, and I was hooked (looking back, it was probably the colourful, life-size bear statues we ran into wherever we went). I’ve been taking German lessons ever since. The more I learned about the language and culture, the more I craved to be there, in Germany, surrounded by it all – an exchange seemed like the perfect opportunity for me.
