As we prepare for Easter, please follow the link https://youtu.be/FCcCH3xcLGE to find our 2020 Merici College Easter Reflection. You are invited to Mass Online streamed from the Crypt at St Christopher’s Cathedral, https://www.youtube.com/catholicvoice/live.
Each year at Merici College, many of our students such as our Angela's Angels (Merici Youth Ministry), Junior Drama, Student Leaders and Dance present a powerful Easter liturgy to our community, reflecting on the significance of Jesus' life, death and resurrection through important events in Holy Week, including the Stations of the Cross. In our world today there is much suffering and we focus on Easter as a period of encouragement and hope during these uncertain times.

Be part of the solution and look for chocolate that is certified by the Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade or UTZ.

Following on from Merici College being awarded the ACT Sustainable School of the Year, I was asked to launch a children's book on the weekend.
This week's tip is based on the information I presented at the launch on ocean's, sea life and plastics. I was also asked to speak about what we are doing here at Merici and the room erupted into applause at the conclusion. People spoke to me afterwards and are impressed with what we do here!
