The Year 10 Transitions Forum will be held from Tuesday 27 June to Friday 30 June (Term 2 Week 10). It is a requirement that ALL Year 10 students attend during this week because it provides essential information about the requirements for Senior College.
HELPING TEACHERS TEACH MORE WITH LESS: a global project. Leading teacher training in limited resource contexts.
Limited Resource Teaching Training (LRTT) enables teachers from around the world to share their ideas, knowledge and passion for teaching. Together they can inspire, support and motivate each other to ensure students receive the highest quality of education.
All community members are invited to attend a talk organised by Catholic Education with Dr Debbie Pushor. The event will be hosted by Merici College on Monday 19 June in the Catherine Rey Learning Centre, Wise Street Braddon, commencing at 6.30pm.
Merici’s Year 9 and 10 team has finished as the ACT Volleyball Champions after competing in the recently held regional competition and then the finals’ competition.
On Tuesday 6 June, the Year 9 and 10 Dance students were privileged to participate in a contemporary dance workshop, led by two independent dance artists and recent graduates of the Victorian College of the Arts, Jack Riley and Olivia McPherson.
Jack and Olivia began the workshop by leading students through a warmup and a series of travelling and floor exercises. Emphasis was on activating one’s core and softening the legs to get close to the floor. The class progressed to movement phrases which were fast, fluid and connected. The students’ confidence grew as the class went on.
Once upon a time……
in the year 1474 a girl named Angela Merici was born in the tiny farming village of Dezenzano situated on the shores of Lake Garda in Italy.
Now, today, the 26th May 2017, 543 years later we gather to celebrate Angela’s life and to give thanks to God for the extraordinary person she was… but Angela Merici would be quick to say “no more wonderful than each of you – the students, staff, parents and friends of Merici College, Braddon.”
St Angela Merici Day provided our College with a wonderful opportunity to continue to celebrate as a whole community with the Community BBQ to conclude the day of reflection and festivities. The chilly Autumn air did not hamper the true sense of belonging and community shown on the evening. The BBQ is a great opportunity for our whole community to gather, parents to meet PC Teachers and for us to welcome new families to the College.
We congratulate the Da Vinci Competition team members who competed yesterday in the Elite Da Vinci competition at Knox Grammar School in Sydney. The competition was incredibly competitive, there were 1300 students from the best schools in Sydney and the surrounding area! Both the Year 9 and Year 10 teams worked incredibly hard and achieved good results, however as you can imagine with so many top grammar and selective schools it’s very difficult to even reach the top 25%.
