On Thursday 23 November, a joint excursion was held with students from Merici College and Canberra Girls Grammar. At the excursion, the students participated in different sessions to learn more about Chinese culture. The various sessions are Taichi, making dumpling, playing Guzheng (an ancient Chinese instrument) and dressing up in Qipao (a signature Chinese dress) and also did a simple dramatization of Mulan in ancient Chinese costumes.
Merici College celebrates the artistic gifts and talents of our students throughout the year but especially at our annual Showcase Exhibition. Our students are creative risk takers, they day-dream and work hard to craft the product that tells the story they want to be told in the medium they choose to explain the mystery of life, and the adventure we are all on.The subjects highlighted at our exhibition this year are Dance, Photography, Visual Arts, Music, Fashion and Media.
Creativity is about human expression and communicating deeply. It is a gift where every artist desires to share a glimpse into part of themselves. Merici College celebrates the artistic gifts and talents of our students throughout the year but especially at our annual Showcase Exhibition.
