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.
May we all continue to be inspired by the words and actions of St Angela Merici, to “challenge people to love life, have hope, be faithful and build futures more wondrous than you dare to dream”.
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.

When items that are not acceptable in your kerbside collection bins come to the end of their use, what can you do with them?
Disposal to landfill should be the last resort and many items can have their life extended.
To help with your decision making, the ACT government has a very useful online resource known as the Recyclopaedia.
It is an A-Z sorting guide.
