In October, Merici was awarded a Nude Food Week grant from Nutrition Australia to run two beeswax wrap-making workshops. Last week, we were lucky enough to have Gaby from the Canberra Environment Centre facilitating the workshops, where we learnt about preventing plastic use in the kitchen and made some beeswax wraps.
The Year 7 students at Merici College, have been developing their skills in the use of digital technologies and entrepreneurial skills. Over the course of the year, there has been multiple opportunities and activities which put these skills into place. This semester, they have been working in collaboration with the ACT Department of Health for their ‘It’s Your Move’ project. ‘It’s Your Move’ is an initiative supporting a healthy, active and a productive community.
We would like to thank our Dance Troupe students for their participation in many community events throughout the year. Girls, your enthusiasm and dedication in celebrating special events with our community has been amazing. You have been excellent ambassadors for Merici College!
A special Music Presentation Night was held on Thursday 23 November to recognise the efforts and achievements of our students who have participated in Merici's Music Program. We would like to thank our students for enriching our school culture and community.
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.

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.
