The position of Narragunnawali Captain will be shared with Indigenous Students from Year 11, as there is no student in Year 12.
Today nine students from Years 9-11 participated in a pilot outreach activity from the ANU’s College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS). Delivered virtually, but with the help of an on-site facilitator from the ANU, the students heard a keynote speech from Associate Professor Katia Bazaka and then took part in two hands-on workshops.
Today Merici College staff and students celebrated the Feast Day of Saint Angela Merici, an important celebration in recognition of our Patron Saint Angela Merici, our Founding Orders and our College Houses. 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”.
Merici College congratulates Heather Bravo elected 2021 College Captain and Caitlyn Crick, 2021
