Year 7 classes are participating in a T20 style cricket tournament on our school oval today run by Sports Education Development Australia and Cricket Australia’s Sydney Thunder team and is aimed at increasing young girls participation in sport, particularly cricket.
Here is our green tip for the week:
We have set up a soft plastic recycling station at Merici!
Soft or flexible plastics are any plastics that can be easily scrunched into a ball or broken when crushed by hand and includes bread, pasta, chip and lolly packets.
You can drop off your waste at our station located in the front office foyer.

Merici College values strong engagement with our parent community. We work in partnership in an inclusive and supportive environment to foster a joy of learning and challenge our students to achieve their personal best.
We would like to express our thanks and gratitude to all our guests for supporting this event. Particular thanks are extended to the many businesses who most generously donated gifts, vouchers and items for our silent auction. Your support has been overwhelming!
This event is in its third year running and was initiated two years ago by two staff members, Trish Young and Tookie Capezio, as a way of broadening the experiences of Senior Hospitality students. It also gives the students with the opportunity of providing a service to those members in our community who need our help most. On behalf of all the Merici College community, we commend Trish, Tookie and the students on their wonderful endeavours, and congratulate them for the first-class, degustation menu that they prepared on Saturday night.
Now in its fourth year, Big Sister Science Day continues to provide invaluable learning opportunities for primary school students and support to teachers in delivering Science curriculum in primary school education.
Year 9 Textiles recently went to the Craft Fair to look at the beautiful patchwork quilts on display and participate in some of the many workshops offered at the fair. This was organised for the girls to gain inspiration for their own quilted patchwork project that they have started for this semesters unit of work ‘We’ve got you covered’. We also visited the Australian War Memorial to look at the beautiful Changi Quilts made by the women in termed in the Changi prison during World War II and looked into the stories behind their designs and a bit of the history behind patchwork quilting.
