Merici Green Tip #6 - Our SAMs

Submitted by mericiadmin on March 12, 2019 - 11:44am

A record number of students have signed up to be part of the Sustainability at Merici (SAM) Group. Almost ninety students signed up last Thursday at our Activities Expo, more than 10% of the student population. A reflection of the growing awareness of urgent action on climate change and environmental protection! Enjoy our photos from our Activities Expo. Well done to Gabby Cox, our Sustainability Captain for her efforts in organising the stall and speaking to our students.

Canberra Show Results

Merici College Fashion and Textile students did extremely well again this year at the Canberra Show. We are very proud of all the efforts the girls have made. We would like to mention that several students entered items independently and also received awards. Students include Annabella McNamara Y7 received 1st for her quilt and Maria Georgiadis received 6 awards for a dress and a variety of baked goods. A huge thank you to Susan Anderson who gets all the entries in and does the drop off and pick up.

In December of 2018, I had the privilege of accompanying a group of girls to the US for the CASE Senior Space School. While my group was composed of girls from Sydney, a small group of Canberra students, including two from Merici, were in another group along with the Queenslanders.
