YEAR 8 MEDIEVAL DAY
On Tuesday 20 March 2018, all Year 8 students taking History were transported to the Middle Ages for a day of activities at school that were designed to enrich their study of the medieval past. Students participated in hands-on activities, led by teachers and other experts. They will be dressing, cooking, making art, dancing, and even practising archery, in ways that will enhance their understanding of the people and cultures of the past. Everyone had a great day learning something different about life during medieval times.

It was a very active day around Merici College on Friday 16 March with Drama students presenting improvised performance and pop-up performances around the school to highlight that bullying is not OK and that it is everybody’s responsibility to speak up to prevent bullying. Our very first Feel Good Friday, organised by our senior students, was dedicated to Say NO! with students recognising the importance of taking action against bullying and violence.
