We congratulate Jessica Manclark, Year 10 student, on her recent achievements. Jessica won the Canberra Cavalry Starlight Music Series on the 26th January this year. The prize was a recording session at the ANU recording studio to record her song. She also sang the National Anthem at the Grand final of the Australian Baseball League here in Canberra. In addition, Jessica was a finalist in the Song-writing Competition in Tamworth and over the holidays she attended the Gondwana Australian National Choir School in Sydney.
On Monday 19 February the Merici College school community celebrated the academic achievements of students in Semester 2 2017.
Our Open Day is a wonderful opportunity for prospective families and their daughters to see the College in action and meet our students; Principal's Address, Year 7 Information Session, guided tours, and lots more.
Be a Merici Girl for a Day provides Year 6 students with an opportunity to experience a typical day at Merici College. Students spend a full day at school and are given a timetable which they follow to demonstrate the diverse and enriching curriculum offered at Merici College.
We look forward to seeing you at these events.
We were blessed with a beautiful day for our annual Swimming Carnival. Congratulations to all students who competed in both the competitive and novelty events. There was certainly an abundance of community spirit and everyone had an enjoyable day,

The penitential season of Lent is the period of forty days (excluding Sundays) beginning on Ash Wednesday. It is a season of the Church year that observes the forty days Jesus fasted and prayed in the wilderness before He began His public ministry of preaching for repentance. For me, the beginning of each Lenten season conjures up memories of giving up lollies, going to the Stations of the Cross and eating fish and chips every Friday night. The three traditional ways to prepare for Easter are through Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving. There are many ways that we can achieve this.
The sun is shining, January is over, and we’re back to another eco-friendly year for Sustainability at Merici!
