Close the Gap 2023

Submitted by mericiadmin on March 16, 2023 - 7:42am

Today is Close the Gap Day, a time for us to reflect on the progress that has been made in healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and the work that still needs to be done. 

What part can you play in closing the gap?

1. Know what the gap is and why it matters!
2. Listen to the stories of First Nations peoples who have experienced the gap.
3. Pledge to educate yourself more about the issues.
4. Tell the community about the gap and what we can do to support change.

Student Exchange Experience - Harriette Maguire

Submitted by mericiadmin on March 1, 2023 - 9:48am

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.

Help raise funds for Türkiye and Syria - this Friday 17 February

Submitted by mericiadmin on February 14, 2023 - 2:26pm

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).
