Reflections

Our 60th Anniversary this year has provided the College with the opportunity to fulfil our Straregic Plan goal where we are committed to beautifying our school grounds and investing in artworks that celebrate the history and traditions of our Founders.This week we have commenced our second project, to create a mural, which will be situated in the Old Quad adjacent to the existing mural.

We would like to thank families who have finanically contributed to our fundraising for artworks.

In the April school holidays, 14 Merici students visited China for the trip of a lifetime. Accompanied by Mrs Baines and Dr Powell, the group visited Shanghai, Beijing and Xi’an. These are among the world’s biggest cities and some of the most densely populated places on Earth. They are also home to the fascinating culture of China and many World Heritage sites. The students chose to visit China to enrich their study of Chinese Language, History or Hospitality.

 Dr Kathryn White, Science Teacher, accompanied students Anna Wearden, Mishal Kamran and Jia Li Norris to the STEM event "I Want To Be Her When I Grow Up" organised by KPMG and hosted by St Clare's College.

It was wonderful to see so many members of our community at our Festival on Saturday 1 June as one of the many faces who have moved through Merici’s doors over the last 60 years. As a future member of the Alumni, it is great to see the College’s connection with ex-students continue to grow.  

We would like to thank all our mums, grandmothers, aunties and significant others from our Merici family for attending our Mother's Day Prayer and Breakfast this morning, Monday 13 May. The focus of the Prayer was centred around the ongoing nurturing that mothers provide to their children every day. Students wrote messages of thanks, appreciation and love to their mums and significant others; recognising the important role they play in their lives. After the Prayer, guests and students enjoyed a delicious breakfast catered by our Hospitality staff in the restaurant.
