Princpal's Address
This year I challenged you to activate your heart, head and hands.
I ask you now to reflect on how you might have responded to my call to action in February.
Congratulations to Merici College who today received Winner Awards in the ACT Government Climate Choices Schools Awards 2022 – Winner Sustainable Leadership Award for the SAM Team, Winner Sustainable Project Award for the Biodiversity Restoration and Re-wilding Project, Sustainable Leadership Award Secondary Student - Colette Paterson, Sustainable Leadership Award Staff - Felicity Maher.
Congratulations and best wishes to our Year 12 students. We hope you have enjoyed your Graduation celebration and events and look forward to seeing you again at Merici!
Today our Year 7 RE classes are running stalls to raise funds for the St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal. Each class has made craft items to sell. Student craft items have included Christmas decorations and other small gifts suitable for Christmas. Your handmade items look amazing! #mericipride
Wishing you a safe, happy and low waste Christmas!
When decorating consider...
So much joy can come from Christmas decorations, as well as a lot of waste.
Consider switching to LED lights that use less energy, and cut down on plastic decorations, tinsel and baubles that break easily and end up in landfill.
Instead, swap for biodegradable materials like paper and wood. Paper tinsel exists and can be easily personalised with a bit of creativity.
When eating consider...
Principal's Address 2022
Year 10 Awards Ceremony 2022
Today we gather to celebrate the end of the academic calendar in a year of challenges, joys and the building of a culture of seeing the “other” through service. We also take this opportunity to recognise the successes, strength, resilience and passion exhibited by our young women in 2022. So much has been achieved, both academically and more broadly, by our students who have had the courage to serve our community whilst honouring their own dreams and capabilities.
Principal's Address - 2022 Advent Mass
Good morning everyone and how blessed are we to celebrate such a wondrous mass together. This morning we have marked the advent of Christ – we await, with hope and eagerness, His arrival as our saviour. Thank you, Fr Emil, for leading us, in community, so beautifully. Thank you to Mrs Tolfree who brought us together in community (as you have done so with great energy and creativity all year) and thank you to all members of our community who worked with her to make todays’ celebration so special.
