Phew! What a busy term we have had!
Congratulations to all students for making it through a tricky term of high workloads, competing deadlines for assessments, exams, and some very cold weather. It has been a pleasure to be a part of the Merici community this term and I am very excited for the semester ahead.
This week we will be participating in R U OK? Day on Thursday, 9 September which is a national day of action where Australians are reminded that every day is the day to ask, “are you okay?” if someone they know is struggling. Whilst working in lockdown, checking in on one another’s wellbeing is more important than ever.
Feeling overwhelmed, take some time out of your day to try on of these 10 Ways to Help Manage Anxiety and Stress.

We would like to express our HUGE thanks and appreciation to all our school community for participating in our Book Week 2021. We have been overwhelmed with amazing images of dress-up costumes for the past, cakes that have been created inspired by the Book Week theme 'Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds' or inspired by books we all love. Our dress-up has been fantastic today, so very creative! Thanks again everyone! #mericipride
We understand that the change to remote learning may impact students and families in varying ways. Please find below important information on how Pastoral Care will continue to be provided to the students during lockdown.
We encourage all students to continue to contact their teachers, parents, and other trusted adults to ensure that each member of our college community can navigate these challenging times in an environment that is welcoming, respectful and of value to everyone.
Take care everyone!
In my six years as a Principal, I have been troubled by the rise in the number of students diagnosed with mental health issues. Only yesterday, an article in our local paper highlighted that 1 in 4 students were struggling with a mental health issue and 1 in 7 students has had an episode in the past 12 months.
Anxiety, stress, relationship conflict, body image, grief, addiction and suicidal ideation – all are on the rise.
Merici College Open Day today, Wednesday 8 May from 2pm, Principal's Address 2.15pm and 5.45pm. Come along and see why Merici is a school of choice by merit!
