Thank you to all our students who contributed to our CanLine this morning in support of the Vinnies Winter Appeal and OzHarvest and the wonderful work they do for the vulnerable in our local community . We received over 3,400 cans!
Our Year 10 Engineering students began their aerospace engineering course this year looking at the history of human space flight and exploration. As part of this topic each student undertook research on a space mission of their choice, and produced a popular science-style article about that mission.
This week, Samantha Trafford writes about the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn.
Hi everyone,
Your friendly neighbourhood Sustainability Officer here with an exciting energy update …
This may sound small, but it’s a massive achievement. To put it into perspective, we’ve saved 18, 867 kWh, enough to power three typical 4-person houses in Ainslie for a year.
Thank you to everyone who has been Flicking the Switch and encouraging their students to do so. Your combined efforts have produced a real, tangible change – so well done
We are pleased share that Freya McKenzie-McHarg came second at the Australian National Gymnastics Championships for her ball routine. A fantastic achievement for her first year in the Rhythmic Gymnastics Sub Junior international stream.
Well done Freya, we are very proud of you!
St Angela Merici Day Mass, Friday 1 June. 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”.
This morning, Friday 1 June, College staff and students celebrated the Feast Day of Saint Angela Merici. The celebratory activities commenced in Pastoral Care with students gifting a ‘bracelet of joy’ to another student in their PC group, which included a ‘JOY’ charm, embracing our #YearofYouth #SpredingJoy theme for the year. Students remembered St Angela as an educator of women from all classes of society.
Merici College fielded two teams in the ACT Titration Stakes on Tuesday evening. In a competition valuing technical skill and precision, teams must determine the concentration of a solution of sodium hydroxide and then use this to further determine the concentrations of three separate solutions of acetic acid.
