Dear Parents and Carers of Year 7 students

Due to the fires in NSW we have postponed our Year 7 Camp.We apologise for the inconvenience, however the safety of your daughters and the staff is of paramount concern to us.

The new Camp dates are Wednesday 2 May to Friday 4 May.

I ask you to keep the Tathra community in your prayers as they unite to support each other and deal with the loss of homes.

We also pray for the firefighters and volunteers.

Kind regards

Loretta Wholley

It was a very active day around Merici College on Friday 16 March with Drama students presenting improvised performance and pop-up performances around the school to highlight that bullying is not OK and that it is everybody’s responsibility to speak up to prevent bullying. Our very first Feel Good Friday, organised by our senior students, was dedicated to Say NO! with students recognising the importance of taking action against bullying and violence.

It was blast off today for the launch of Space School! Through our strong association with the Alliance of Girls’ Schools Australasia, Merici College is delighted to provide the opportunity for students to participate in a remarkable STEAM study experience, the CASE Space School Program, to NASA this December. Sasha has recently returned from NASA and had the chance to speak with some students about the program. Two of our students who have recently returned from Space School were delighted to share their experience with us.
