Using an online calculator, the students in Ms Heydenrych's Year 9 Science class worked out that they each generate an average of 7.29kgs of plastic waste per year at school (just from food products).
They then worked out how much this would be if extended to include all the students and staff. i.e approx 800.
This works out to 5.8 tonnes per year of plastic on Merici's campus and doesn't include large items, clothing etc.
The students concluded that our plastic use is the challenge of our lifetimes.
We would like to thank the parents and students who attended our Year 11 2021 Information Evening last night. Please follow the link https://merici.news/news/why-merici-college-0 to find videos from parents and students, as well as the presentation made to our community.
Why Merici for College? Merici College provides many opportunities to our senior students. With our guidance and support we are committed to assisting Year 11 and Year 12 students to successfully complete courses that inspire and challenge them and hold them in an excellent position for the future.
Attached below is the Year 11 2021 Presentation.
Our students aspire to take up their place as young women in our society, who reach out to others and are a powerful voice for those less fortunate. Our College vision statement is Love life, have hope, be faithful and build futures more wondrous than you dare to dream. We challenge students to pave the way for future generations of women - we call it "standing on the shoulders".

Across the IB programmes at Merici College, the MYP and the DP aim to foster a set of distinct attributes which inspire students to be active, compassionate, life long learners. These qualities aren’t left at the door of the classroom, rather they shape all aspects of student life. Made up of ten aspirational qualities of the learner, the Learner Profile motivates teachers, schools and students to be more internationally minded.
Merici College students and teachers are still embracing their House spirit from home. Check out the unique style and techniques of some of our virtual athletics champions! #mericiathleticscarnival #mericisport
Please see the below attached PDF to find the new timetables that will start at the beginning of Term 2.
Our focus is on continuity of learning (not assessments, although there will still be assessments).
Our priority is on creating a sense of belonging and community even though we may be apart, hence Pastoral Care still plays a very important part in our daily routine.
