International Arts and Culture Day

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.

Merici Mentor Program Celebration

On Monday 27 November, our community acknowledged the achievements of our Mentors and Volunteers at a very special afternoon tea. The Mentoring Program continues to be an amazing partnership between the communities of Merici College and Black Mountain School (BMS). The relationship begins in Year 9, with volunteers giving up their time fortnightly for a semester to go over to BMS to work with students with disabilities on their communication skills.

Merici College Green Tip #47 - Laudate Deum

On October 4, Pope Francis released his apostolic exhortation Laudate Deum, that completes his encyclical Laudato si’ published in May 2015, and is addressed “to all people of good will on the climate crisis”.

The Pope reiterates and further develops the themes from his second encyclical in which he expressed his “heartfelt concerns about the care of our common home”. 

 “I have realised that our responses have not been adequate, while the world in which we live is collapsing and may be nearing the breaking point.”
