On Monday 13 May, 12 of our students were invited to Daramalan College to attend a Q & A with Damon Gameau about his new film 2040.
2040 is an innovative feature documentary that looks to the future, but is vitally important NOW. Award-winning director Damon Gameau (That Sugar Film) embarks on journey to explore what the future could look like by the year 2040 if we simply embraced the best solutions already available to us to improve our planet and shifted them rapidly into the mainstream.
Year 8 Students Charly Robinson and Lexie Young represented Merici at the recent Snowy Mountains Interschools Competition (SMIEC) at Jindabyne. Both girls put in solid performances on all 4 days with Charly winning and placing in the 1m and 1.10m showjumping as well as gaining the overall top score in the Stockman's Challenge.
They represented Merici with pride and presented themselves and their horses beautifully.
We congratulate Charly and Lexie on their achievements.
Following a recent conversation with a staff member it has been suggested that the following information from "The War on Waste" would be useful. It’s a 3 minute film clip.

Kasey Kelley competed in the US National Snowboard Championships last week, held in Colorado. On Friday 5 April, she raced in Giant Slalom and finished 4th in her age group. She was against 27 other girls from all across America. The top 8 went into a shootout scenario, so she made it through a few heats to take 4th spot.
After qualifying 9th in the time trials in Kasey's main event of Boarder X, Kasey had a fall in the quarter finals, finishing 15th out of 41 girls.
