Curriculum

A Biodiversity Restoration project has commenced at Merici College which will have short-term and long-term stages.  Given the decline in Australian wildlife and biodiversity and Australia having the highest rate of species extinction in the world, largely due to land clearing and use of synthetic chemicals, it is important for Merici to make our contribution to the solution.  Merici can provide an important travel link and food source for wildlife between Black Mountain and Mount Ainslie.

Our CASE Oceans Program group are enjoying their last few days in Queensland. Over the last two days they visited Rainforestation Nature Park, where they fed and patted kangaroos and wallabies, painted and threw boomerangs, and took part in the Pamagirri Aboriginial experience where they learnt about the local peoples and also got to do some dancing! Back at the hotel, the students presented their experience at OceanSschool and officially graduated! Today they will be spending the morning in Cairns before making there way back to Canberra! Have a safe trip home everyone!

An update from our CASE Oceans program group, sharing some great photos of their visit to Daintree Rainforest. The group darted off looking for crocodiles in the Daintree river, seeing seven - one male, two female adults and three babies! They also went to the Daintree Discovery Centre to learn about the local flora and fauna. After lunch, the group was treated to locally made ice cream, before some shopping and dinner in Port Douglas. #acturaaustralia #oceansprogram #empoweringindependence #mericipride

Our CASE Junior Oceans group have enjoyed lots of wonderful activities over the last few days with pool buddy safety training to prepare for their upcoming snorkeling. The group learnt important hand signals and had some fun racing each other. They also headed down to Pratton Park to learn about how we use transects and quadrats in ecology and helped to collect microplastics in the beach sand for further research at Griffith University. The group learnt that each year we eat the equivalent of a credit card in plastic!
