We congratulate Shirahni Mudaliar, Year 12 student and Expressive Arts Captain, on her music achievements with the Canberra Youth Orchestra.
Canberra’s cold temperatures did not favour Merici College Year 10, 11 and 12 students and teachers who rose to the challenge on Thursday 22 June for the annual Student Representative Council (SRC) Vinnies Sleepout.
The group slept outdoors in the New Quad to raise funds for Canberra’s homeless. With the temperature a low of -3 degrees, students and teachers prepared themselves for a cold night out. The aim of the night was to promote awareness within our Merici community of the issue of homelessness and for the students to experience a small part of the reality of homelessness.
Congratulations to Anna Connolly, Year 7 on her success over the weekend, having participated in Regional Special Olympics Basketball Competition at the Australian Institute of Sport winning medals in Skills (2nd in division) and 1st team in division.We wish Anna continued success in all her future endeavours.
