Reflections

Thank you to all our fathers and daughters who attended our Mass and Dinner last night. We would like to extend our thanks to our guest speaker Michael Ray on his truly inspirational and insightful address.

Congratulations and commendations to our Hospitality team on a five-star three-course meal prepared and served last night. We would also like to extend our thanks to Fr Emil and Veronica Harrold-Carter on the organisation of such reflective and special Mass.

Congratulations to the Book Week Committee who worked hard to prepare so many wonderful activities to celebrate Book Week, Read, Grow, Inspire. We have enjoyed a week-long celebration about books, illustrators, characters, and authors. Along with daily PC quizzes, our students participated in a Cake Decorating competition, Scavenger Hunt, Trivia and an amazing Dress Up Parade where students and staff were invited to come to school dressed up as their favourite recognisable book character or matching the theme.

We hope everyone had a great week.

As the Merici College community gathered on Friday 4 August for St Angela Merici Day, we celebrated the life of Angela Merici, our Patron Saint, who will be remembered as a revolutionary woman and who continues to inspire us each day.

The celebratory activities commenced in Pastoral Care with students gifting a St Angela Merici medal ‘Pray For Us’ to another student in their PC group and exploring our College theme #COMMUNITAS. Students remembered St Angela as an educator of women from all classes of society.

A very special celebration Mass was held on Friday 4 August to celebrate the Feast Day of St Angela Merici.

We extend our thanks and appreciation to Fr Trenton for celebrating Mass with us, as well as our students and staff. Special thanks are extended to our gratitude to Sr Angela, Sr Frances, Sr Genny and Sr Noelene representing our Founding Orders who were instrumental as the foundresses of the College. We also extend our thanks to our parents who were able to attend.
