The beginning of the year is always busy, preparing and distributing over 1,700 textbooks within the first few weeks. With an unexpected change in staff, it is with thanks to Mrs. Kim Hekimian who kept all staff and students happy, meeting their textbook needs. Term 1 also saw us engaged and celebrating being back at school, displays were created. We set up the WIDE reading program and began the database and research lessons.

Merici College Green Tip #37: About toothbrushes...

Submitted by mericiadmin on November 23, 2022 - 7:35am

Your dentist would ideally like to see you change your toothbrush every three to four months. 

That's a lot of plastic waste.

According to the World Wildlife Fund, around 3.5 billion disposable plastic toothbrushes – usually made from polypropylene and nylon which can take up to 500 years to break down in landfill – are purchased each year around the world. 

The vast majority will end up as plastic pollution.
