Student Achievement

We would like to acknowledge the wonderful contribution made by students which, in no small part, contributed to the success of our Open Day. Over 200 students participated in Open Day activities during the day and into the night. The students were all wonderful ambassadors for our school and we have received excellent feedback from all our visitors on your exceptional skills in conducting school tours, participating in Science, Mathematics, Food Technology, Art and Textiles classroom activities, presenting dance, music, vocal and drama performances.

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

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.

It was wonderful having Year 6 students from St Joseph's Primary School attend our Big Sister Science Day today.

The Year 6 students joined our Year 9 Science classes to support their classroom learning as they are currently studying volcanos. Our Year 9 students assisted the students in exploring Earth Science activities,rotating around 8 stations. This also included a demo volcano experiment with dry ice and warm water! The students also participated in a Sustainability class, planting seedlings and visiting our kitchen garden.

Sincere thanks to all our community for supporting our Gift of Life Walk this morning. We would like to extend our thanks to Josh and Ned and the Canberra FM crew for broadcasting live from Merici this morning and helping us raise awareness about organ and tissue donation. Special thanks to Cath Scott and all the staff at Gift of Life Inc. for their involvement and support. We would also like to thank Clem and Liam O'Donnell for sharing their story this morning.

Merici College congratulates every student on their personal and academic achievements for 2022. These have been acknowledged at the College’s Graduation and Awards Ceremony.  Here is a proud snapshot of the Class of 2022 and a glimpse of the contribution Merici students will make to our local and global community in the future.

Congratulations to our Year 11 students who received awards on Friday 10 March for their Year 10 2022 IB Personal Project academic results. As part of celebrations, three awards were presented.

Congratulations to all our students who entered their work for displays at the Canberra Show. All the entries were exceptional and we thank you for your dedication to your studies of Textiles and Fashion at Merici College. We would also like to thank over 40 students who volunteered to help at the Show, through the exceptional organisation and support of Maria Georgiadis, Year 12 students. All our students were wonderful ambassadors for Merici College and eagerly supporting and assisted at stalls.
