2022 Can Line

Submitted by mericiadmin on August 16, 2022 - 12:09pm

For the last five weeks, the students at Merici College have been collecting cans of food for the most vulnerable in our community. TcSt Vinnies and OzHarvest were overwhelmed by the thousands of cans donated. As a result, many families in our wider community will be comforted by the contributions from Merici College.

Congratulations everyone for an outstanding effort and special congratulations to Balgo House for collecting the most cans and winning House points.

Biodiversity Restoration Project has started at Merici!

Submitted by mericiadmin on August 12, 2022 - 1:56pm

A Biodiversity Restoration project has commenced at Merici College which will have short-term and long-term stages.  Given the decline in Australian wildlife and biodiversity and Australia having the highest rate of species extinction in the world, largely due to land clearing and use of synthetic chemicals, it is important for Merici to make our contribution to the solution.  Merici can provide an important travel link and food source for wildlife between Black Mountain and Mount Ainslie.

Congratulations to our Antigone cast and crew who worked long and hard to ensure that the performance drew our audience to the team’s dystopian interpretation of this traditional Greek play. Our talented students, along with students from Marist Radford, Burgmann and Erindale Colleges, continue to demonstrate the very high standards we have come to expect of Merici College.

Merici College Green Tip #24 - International Day of World's Indigenous People

Submitted by mericiadmin on August 9, 2022 - 1:46pm

The United Nations’ (UN) International Day of the World's Indigenous People is observed on August 9 each year to promote and protect the rights of the world’s Indigenous population.

Around 80% of the world’s remaining biodiversity is located where indigenous people live.

Studies have shown that fauna, flora and biodiversity flourish where indigenous people reside.

Processes for climate action and a sustainable future must be inclusive of indigenous knowledge

and environmental management skills and practices.

Merici College Green Tip #23 - National Tree Day

Submitted by mericiadmin on August 3, 2022 - 2:14pm

July 31 was National Tree Day and a tree will be planted at Merici next week to celebrate Australia’s largest community tree-planting and nature care event.

Trees are an essential part of Australia's biodiversity. 

We need urgently to plant more trees as part of a broader plan for climate action. Discontinuing land clearing is also essential.

So, can you plant a native tree or shrub that is naturally occurring in your area? 

Among the many benefits, you may attract more bird visitors!
