In October, Merici was awarded a Nude Food Week grant from Nutrition Australia to run two beeswax wrap-making workshops. Last week, we were lucky enough to have Gaby from the Canberra Environment Centre facilitating the workshops, where we learnt about preventing plastic use in the kitchen and made some beeswax wraps.

The Year 7 students at Merici College, have been developing their skills in the use of digital technologies and entrepreneurial skills. Over the course of the year, there has been multiple opportunities and activities which put these skills into place. This semester, they have been working in collaboration with the ACT Department of Health for their ‘It’s Your Move’ project. ‘It’s Your Move’ is an initiative supporting a healthy, active and a productive community.
