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.
For the creatives, a competition from the ACT government:
DrainART Competition
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.
