March 3 is World Wildlife Day.

Our biodiversity restoration project here at Merici supports World Wildlife Day by restoring habitat and food sources for wildlife.

Congratulations to all our students who entered their work for displays at the Canberra Show. All the entries were exceptional and we thank you for your dedication to your studies of Textiles and Fashion at Merici College. We would also like to thank over 40 students who volunteered to help at the Show, through the exceptional organisation and support of Maria Georgiadis, Year 12 students. All our students were wonderful ambassadors for Merici College and eagerly supporting and assisted at stalls.

The photo displayed is from the Fowles Street park in Weston which is the inspiration for our project here at Merici.

This was begun only five years ago by Alice Hathorn from ACT Urban Woodland Rescue who is guiding our project.

Valuable ecosystem services have been restored and 12 species of butterfly have returned to the area.

We are looking forward to seeing our hard work translate into the same beautiful outcome!

The Year in the Information Centre

Submitted by mericiadmin on December 19, 2022 - 8:48am

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.
