2023 has been a year of wonderful expansive endeavours for Inclusive Education at Merici College. With the ever-growing team of professionals, we have seen The Hub, our central location, become a consistent hive of activity for students from across all year groups needing additional support. This space houses many varying aspects of improving learning for students.

Inclusive Education Coordinator

Health and Physical Education (HPE) in 2023 brings a renewed vibe, a new Studies Coordinator, Ms. Kylie Olsthoorn, and at the end of the first term we said farewell to Ms. Jenna Fisher and welcomed Mr. Tristan Beltrame permanently into the HPE team.

This year, our students were out and about on a range of excursions to enrich their study of humanities and social sciences. We visited museums, parliaments and went on field trips in our local area and well beyond.

As English teachers at Merici College, we believe the best way that we can empower independence is to provide our students with a foundation of literacy through language and literature. It is through this study of English that we hope to guide our students as they uncover their own perspectives and develop the confidence to express themselves authentically. As such, one of our primary goals is to support our students in finding their own voice.

This year, we have been transported to a world where creativity knows no bounds, and artistic expression takes centre stage. The Creative and Performing Arts Department at Merici College has always been a hub of innovation, imagination, and talent, and this year has been no exception.

Dear Merici Community,

Communitas

Year 7 and 8 students had a fun and immersive day experiencing a range of international arts and cultural traditions. We welcomed an Alumni guest speaker from the class of 2002, Esther Sainsbury, and guest presenters for Kung Fu, Latin Dance and Indonesian culture and dance. Students participated in hands-on workshops in the afternoon, gaining an appreciation of cultural significance.
