We would like to thank our parents, students and friends who attended our International Women's Day Celebration on Wednesday 8 March hosted by our Bridge Restaurant Hospitality students.
International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.
Back in 2018, I visited Italy with my family which was such a memorable experience, so I decided to start learning the language when I came to Merici in Year 7. When the WEP overseas exchange experience came up, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to go back to Italy and be able to use all the language skills that Merici had taught me over the past 4 years. Especially after the pandemic, I was so excited to travel and be able to see new places again. I went into it trying not to set any expectations, which prompted me to have an open mind.

As Merici College family we gathered yesterday, Wednesday 15 February, to celebrate our 2023 Opening School Mass.
This is a new beginning with fresh hopes and unknown possibilities. Maybe even some concerns are emerging in our hearts.So how will we embrace what may unfold for us, day by day.
Our school theme for 2023, Communitas will guide us on our journey. We are encouraged to reflect on the inclusiveness of our community and the relationships that we have with one another.
The Theologian: Bernard Lonergan reminds us:
As many people would know, Türkiye and Syria have been struck by a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake. Thousands of deaths have been reported in Türkiye and Syria and the death toll is increasing by the hour. Freezing winter weather is only adding to the devastation, as the thousands left injured, trapped or homeless are stuck in bitter cold and rain.
Merici College will be having a uniform free day (with a suggestion of wearing red items of clothing or accessories in solidarity with the country's national colours).
Students, we would love to meet you!
Do you want to join an award-winning team and take part in sustainable actions at school to make a difference?
Come by our stall at the Activities Expo next Thursday to say hello, have a cookie and sign up for the year with SAM.
Bring a friend!

Sustainability Officer
