Event

In my six years as a Principal, I have been troubled by the rise in the number of students diagnosed with mental health issues.  Only yesterday, an article in our local paper highlighted that 1 in 4 students were struggling with a mental health issue and 1 in 7 students has had an episode in the past 12 months.

Anxiety, stress, relationship conflict, body image, grief, addiction and suicidal ideation – all are on the rise.

At the ACT Science Fair Awards night on Friday, Rebecca Fergusson and Caitlyn Crick both received awards.  Rebecca achieved an Encouragement Award for her investigation into the antibacterial effect of various natural remedies, while Caitlyn received a Highly Commended Award for her study of the strength-to-weight ratio of various beam geometries printed on a 3D printer.  Caitlyn will go on to enter her project in the National BHP Science and Engineering Awards."

Merici College, along with the seven other Catholic Secondary Schools in the ACT, have combined to present an Expo for parents and carers on Mental Health Issues affecting our young people.

It will be a great opportunity to meet people from the agencies, hear from special guest speakers and ask questions.
