Student Achievement

We congratulate Rosemary Zielinski (Year 11), who this year sat all four of the Australian Science Olympiad exams: Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Earth/Environmental Science (EES). 

Rosemary placed in the top 50 students in Australia for Physics, Chemistry and EES, and has been invited to the Olympiad Summer School for both Physics and EES.  Rosemary has chosen to undertake Physics.

We would like to congratulations Brianna Farrell (Year 10) who received the Hockey ACT U21 Women Significant Contribution to Hockey Award.

Year 11:

In our #YearofYouth we continue to explore ways to discover new horizons to experience #Joy. As part of Catholic Schools Week, Merici College hosted Canberra’s largest thrift shop social event,  “Merici Night Out” which was a concert-style fundraising event for Catholic Mission.

We would like to thank our dancers for supporting this community event!

This event is in its fourth year running and was initiated three years ago by two staff members, Trish Young and Tookie Capezio, as a way of broadening the experiences of Senior Hospitality students. It also gives the students with the opportunity of providing a service to those members in our community who need our help most.  On behalf of all the Merici College community, we commend Trish, Tookie and the students on their wonderful endeavours, and congratulate them for the first-class, degustation menu that they prepared on Saturday night.

We congratulate Jade Esler (Year 11) on her selection to participate in the Royal Australia Air Force Camp for Young Women.
