We would like to welcome all students to the 2019 school year, in particular our Year 7s and new students. We hope that you settle into Merici life well and please do not hesitate to stop us or any other student or staff member in the corridor or on the playground if you are feeling overwhelmed or unsure about something. Remember, we are here to help. We also have a great Transitions team this year who are committed to helping you with a smooth and happy transition.

Principal's Fortnightly Blog - Advent

Submitted by mericiadmin on November 29, 2018 - 10:49am

Christmas is a favourite time of year in the Wholley household. It’s the one time that I go out and buy magazines to plan for the year’s Christmas menu. My daughters and I plan what decorations will go, while my husband starts making a list of all the “jobs” he is going to have to do to make our requests a reality. I have to admit we started the decorating a week early this year on the Feast of Christ the King. However, it is this Sunday that we begin the season of Advent and celebrate the Church’s “New Year”.

Submitted by mericiadmin on November 15, 2018 - 2:20pm

For the second year, the Merici community has participated in a comprehensive survey, capturing feedback across many dimensions of College life. Whilst there is no formal benchmark provided against other schools, Merici enjoys a very high rating across most of the measures. Across all surveys, participants repeatedly commended the school on the positive culture, sense of faith and community, teacher engagement and caring attitude and the diversity of the student body and inclusive culture.

Principal's Fortnightly Blog - World Teachers' Day

Submitted by mericiadmin on November 1, 2018 - 10:01am

Friday 26 October celebrates World Teachers’ Day in Australia. Interestingly it is celebrated on 5 October in the northern hemisphere, but as the dates always fall into school stand down period, we celebrate it on the last Friday of October each year. The day was established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) in 1994 to recognise the role of teachers in society.
