It was a very active day around Merici College on Friday 16 March with Drama students presenting improvised performance and pop-up performances around the school to highlight that bullying is not OK and that it is everybody’s responsibility to speak up to prevent bullying. Our very first Feel Good Friday, organised by our senior students, was dedicated to Say NO! with students recognising the importance of taking action against bullying and violence.

Lenten Reflection

Submitted by mericiadmin on February 14, 2018 - 11:43am

The penitential season of Lent is the period of forty days (excluding Sundays) beginning on Ash Wednesday. It is a season of the Church year that observes the forty days Jesus fasted and prayed in the wilderness before He began His public ministry of preaching for repentance. For me, the beginning of each Lenten season conjures up memories of giving up lollies, going to the Stations of the Cross and eating fish and chips every Friday night. The three traditional ways to prepare for Easter are through Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving. There are many ways that we can achieve this.
