Get a plant!
Australians spend around 90% of their time indoors.
Studies show that indoor air is more polluted than outdoor air.
Indoor plants are an easy and attractive way to purify the air in your home and workplace.
Keep them away from your pets though!

A special thank you to all our students and families who commemorated ANZAC Day with our community.

Easter is the greatest celebration in the Catholic church signifying the completion of the Holy week that ends with the resurrection of Jesus. Today, to mark this special occasion in the Church’s calendar, Merici College commemorated these events with a very special liturgy. The students reflected Jesus’ journey through the Stations of the Cross. They also acknowledged the story of our indigenous brothers and sisters, focusing on the universality of the human spirit and how it we come together as one in the spirit of communitas.
Happy Easter!

Thank you to our staff and students who attended the Palm Sunday Refugees Rally yesterday and supporting this important moment in our community to come together to speak out for justice for people seeking asylum. #justice4refugees #communitas #empoweringindependence
At school, home and work in the ACT look for yellow bins. Into these bins, please put only glass jars and bottles, plastic containers, cans, paper and cardboard.
Nothing else and definitely no food or soft plastics.
Thanks for doing your part to reduce waste to landfill.

I don’t know about you, but we feel as though term one has flown by!
We hope that all students have settled into the school year and feel proud of what they have achieved this term. I think we are all starting to feel the fatigue of the term, feeling a bit drained and looking forward to a well-earned break!
What made you apply for an exchange program?
Way back in 2014, when I was in Year 2, my family went on a ‘big trip’ around Europe – we spent a week in Berlin, and I was hooked (looking back, it was probably the colourful, life-size bear statues we ran into wherever we went). I’ve been taking German lessons ever since. The more I learned about the language and culture, the more I craved to be there, in Germany, surrounded by it all – an exchange seemed like the perfect opportunity for me.
