Merici has partnered with WV Technologies to begin a community e-waste recycling program on campus. The e-waste collection cage is outside the IT staffroom towards the Wise Street staff carpark. Merici staff, students and parents can drop off:

  • Laptops

  • Mobile phones
  • Screens

Please note the program doesn’t include appliances (like toasters) or consumer electronics (like DVD players). Keep your drop-offs limited to the list above please!

Why?

What’s Happening in Engineering @ Merici

In Week 3 of this term, the Year 10 Engineering class performed their first rocket launch as part of this semester’s unit: “It Is Rocket Science.”  With the assistance of members of the Canberra Rocketry Group (Nev Blyth, Dr Tony Buckmaster, John Davies and Mark Bottomley) and kind permission from Dr Buckmaster to use his Yass property, the engineers launched 14 model rockets. Each rocket carried a payload of a small altimeter that allowed us to collect flight telemetry.
