The Career Expo is designed for all Year 9 to Year 12 students and their parents are actively encouraged to attend. It is at this time that the girls can begin to gain an understanding of the extensive variety of courses that are available from all the major institutions within the ACT and surrounding regions. We would like to thank all our special guests and presenters for providing insightful advice to our students thinking about entering their respective career.

This week is International Compost Awareness Week!
Did you know that as Australians, almost 50% of the waste we put in our landfill bins is compostable? You can rescue your food waste by starting a composting system at home or in the workplace. Composting is a great tool for gardeners and waste-haters alike!

As I write this update, our students in China are getting ready to visit the Great Wall!
All is going well with our intrepid Language students as they undertake Merici’s first trip to China, as you can see from the happy snaps from recent days.
I hear Mrs Preston is busy making poppies for our Anzac Ceremony so it’s lovely to see wherever we are in the world, we are united as the Merici Community.
