Over 200 students participated in Open Day activities during the day and into the night. The students were all wonderful ambassadors for our school and we have received excellent feedback from all our visitors on your exceptional skills in conducting school tours, participating in Science, Mathematics, Food Technology, Art and Textiles classroom activities, presenting dance, music, vocal and drama performances. In particular, our visitors commented on how our students spoke about Merici life with such pride and enthusiasm.
Every girl has the power inside her to be independent and she deserves the space, support and belief to discover this for herself. Visit us at our Open Day on Wednesday 3 May or register for a Be a Merici Girl Day.

What made you apply for an exchange program?
Way back in 2014, when I was in Year 2, my family went on a ‘big trip’ around Europe – we spent a week in Berlin, and I was hooked (looking back, it was probably the colourful, life-size bear statues we ran into wherever we went). I’ve been taking German lessons ever since. The more I learned about the language and culture, the more I craved to be there, in Germany, surrounded by it all – an exchange seemed like the perfect opportunity for me.
Merici College is an IB World School offering the Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme. Visit https://www.ibyb.org/listing/merici-college-australia to find out more.
It was wonderful having Year 6 students from St Joseph's Primary School attend our Big Sister Science Day today.
The Year 6 students joined our Year 9 Science classes to support their classroom learning as they are currently studying volcanos. Our Year 9 students assisted the students in exploring Earth Science activities,rotating around 8 stations. This also included a demo volcano experiment with dry ice and warm water! The students also participated in a Sustainability class, planting seedlings and visiting our kitchen garden.
