Today we held our Co-curricular Activities Expo with students signing up for different clubs, with over 30 groups to choose from! Merici has a wealth of cocurricular subjects and activities to compliment our fundamental teaching subjects. We believe it's vital that every Merici girl gets the opportunity to explore their passion, be creative and try something new!

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 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.
Congratulations to Merici College who today received Winner Awards in the ACT Government Climate Choices Schools Awards 2022 – Winner Sustainable Leadership Award for the SAM Team, Winner Sustainable Project Award for the Biodiversity Restoration and Re-wilding Project, Sustainable Leadership Award Secondary Student - Colette Paterson, Sustainable Leadership Award Staff - Felicity Maher.
Instrumental and Vocal Opportunities
At Merici College, students have the opportunity to participate in private instrumental lessons to learn a musical instrument or sing with one of our vocal tutors, during school hours on campus. Individual tutor rates are $41 per half hour lessons. Lesson times are rotated to allow for flexibility with school timetabling.

Something to think about in the context of sustainability...
You are personally responsible for becoming more ethical than the society you grew up in.
