Our 2020 Year 12 Retreat was held on Monday 27 July and Tuesday 28 July. The theme for the Retreat was “Dare to Dream”, our Christian Service theme for Yr 12 was Love and our 2020 College theme is Building Futures. Year 12 students reflected on their journey at Merici College and as senior leaders of the College, how they would continue to be leaders with hope and faithfulness – both for themselves and others, what it means to Dare to Dream, where have they have been, where are they are now, where are they are going?
Today we celebrated Bastille Day with students reflecting on the importance of the day in Pastoral Care classes. We were treated to a wonderful French menu in our Canteen with delicious crème puffs and crepes served, together with other French delicacies. Hands were clapping and feet were tapping with our Dance Troupe performing for our community during lunch time, with the all-time favourite, the Can-Can, the highlight of their performance.

The students considered how to make decisions, reflected on what is important in their lives, tried out a few different careers, learnt about the job market, prepared for senior study and much, much more.
Here are the results for this years can line! The girls did great and went out of their way to enthusiastically get involved and provide for those struggling to put food on the table. We are very proud of the amount of donations we’ve made!
