On Thursday 30 May, our Art students enjoyed the opportunity of attending a Photography workshop facilitated by Peter Solness, a pioneer of night photography and stunning light-painting techniques. Peter shared his wealth of knowledge and skills to the students. Thanks so much Peter for spending time at Merici College. #petersolness #mericiarts

On Tuesday 21 May, Merici College hosted an international delegation attending the Current of Grace Conference in Canberra. Mrs Masters welcomed the delegates warmly and Mrs Harrold-Carter explored ways that Merici College employs the four phase model of Youth Ministry . Our students showcased the CSYMI program, starting with engaging ice breakers and role plays. They shared personal testimonies and recounted their experiences as members of the ACU Academy programme. The activities were structured around the CPR model of youth ministry—Connection, Proclamation, and Response.
We would like to acknowledge the wonderful contribution made by students which, in no small part, contributed to the success of our Open Day, Be Merici Girl Days and Talk and Tours. Over 300 students participated in these activities. 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 information.
Our 65th Anniversary Ball is fast approaching and we are looking very forward to celebrating this special occasion with you.

On Friday 10 May, our College was honoured by the presence of more than 100 mothers and significant others from our Merici family. The focus of the Prayer was centred around the love of a mother and ongoing nurturing that mothers provide to their children every day. After the Prayer, guests and students enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared and served by the Hospitality students. It was a wonderful opportunity for our community to celebrate Mothers’ Day, share stories, laugh together and make more connections while sharing a meal together.
We would like to thank our mothers and daughters for attending our Mother's Day Liturgy and Lunch today. It was a wonderful celebration! We would like to extend our thanks and congratulations to our Hospitality students and staff on preparing and serving a delicious lunch. We hope you all have a wonderful day on Sunday.
