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.

Submitted by mericiadmin on September 11, 2017 - 10:43am

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.

Year 9 Textiles excursion to the Craft Fair

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.

Year 8 Medieval History Day

We had another fun and hands-on Medieval History Day for the Year 8 students on Thursday 31 August with glorious weather, and lots of great guest speakers and coaches. We would like to thank all the students for participating with such great enthusiasm and interest.

Wadeye Student Visit

It was a pleasure welcoming students and staff from Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Thamarrurr Catholic College in Wadeye, Northern Territory during this week. On Monday the students spent a day at Merici attending classes and participated in an AFL game at lunch time. On Wednesday our students; Lily Coleman, Eleanor Coleman and Genevieve Sandeman spent a rewarding morning at Tidbinbilla with the Wadeye students and Marist. The students spent time with two of the Indigenous Rangers learning about the local plants, wildlife and traditional artifacts of the Ngunnawal people.
