Year 8 Reflection Day "Life of Love"
Year 8 participated in a Reflection Day on Thursday 19 October at the College with the theme "Life of Love". During the day the students were reminded they are held gently in the palm of God’s hand, there are times that their hearts need to be renewed and that they need to ask for forgiveness for the times they have not been completely loving. During the afternoon liturgy, the students had an opportunity to reflect on their actions and they were motivated to start afresh – with a renewed heart.

Did you know….
Tomatoes originally came from Peru where their Aztec name translated to “plump thing with a navel”.
Tomatoes increase in weight as they ripen, even after harvesting.
Our annual tomato plant sale is on Saturday 28th October at 8am at Merici College - on the corner of Henty Street and Limestone Avenue.

We would like to thank our Class of 1977 for the opportunity of conducting a school tour as part of their school reunion on Saturday 14 October. It was a pleasure listening to all the wonderful school yard stories!
We would also like to thank the Young Music Society Concert Band who were rehearsing in our Jubilee Centre at the time of the tour and happily performed "Lord of the Dance" for our group.

International Day of the Girl is an international observance day declared by the United Nations and is held on 11 October each year. The observation supports more opportunity for girls and increases awareness of gender inequality faced by girls worldwide based upon their gender. This inequality includes areas such as access to education, nutrition, legal rights, medical care, and protection from discrimination, violence against women and unfree child marriage.

Ningil House Day
On Tuesday 2 May, the students and staff of Ningil House celebrated the inaugural Ningil House Feast Day. The day began with prayer and reflection in Morning PC, where the formation of the Ningil Mission in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, as well as what it means to be a member of Ningil House today, were referenced. Later in the day, the House celebrated through reciting the House prayer, singing a rousing rendition of “I’m a Ningil House Kid” and sharing cake in what proved to be a most joyous atmosphere.
