Merici College Green Tip #35 - Rewilding at Merici College

Submitted by mericiadmin on August 19, 2022 - 12:32pm

The sun came out on a winter's day in August for 20 students from the Sustainability at Merici (SAM) student group who gathered to do some rewilding with local species from the Yellow Box- Blakely's Red Gum Grassy Woodland, one of Canberra's key ecosystems.

Thanks to Merici's maintenance staff who prepared the area everything was ready for a great planting session.

Work began as the girls spent their lunch hour planting to provide habitat for small native birds and butterflies.

St Vinnies Oodie/Hoodie/PJs Day

Submitted by mericiadmin on August 16, 2022 - 12:46pm

Unfortunately due to CE COVID protocols, Merici College staff and students were unable to participate in the St Vinnies Sleepout to raise money and awareness for the homeless in our community. Instead, the students and staff held a Hoodies/Oodies/PJs Day on Thursday 4 August. We were overwhelmed with the high level of participation and over $2,000 was raised on the day.

Thanks everyone! #mericipride

For the last five weeks, the students at Merici College have been collecting cans of food for the most vulnerable in our community. TcSt Vinnies and OzHarvest were overwhelmed by the thousands of cans donated. As a result, many families in our wider community will be comforted by the contributions from Merici College.

Congratulations everyone for an outstanding effort and special congratulations to Balgo House for collecting the most cans and winning House points.

Congratulations to our Antigone cast and crew who worked long and hard to ensure that the performance drew our audience to the team’s dystopian interpretation of this traditional Greek play. Our talented students, along with students from Marist Radford, Burgmann and Erindale Colleges, continue to demonstrate the very high standards we have come to expect of Merici College.

CASE Junior Oceans Program Update

Submitted by mericiadmin on July 11, 2022 - 7:54am

Our CASE Junior Oceans group have enjoyed lots of wonderful activities over the last few days with pool buddy safety training to prepare for their upcoming snorkeling. The group learnt important hand signals and had some fun racing each other. They also headed down to Pratton Park to learn about how we use transects and quadrats in ecology and helped to collect microplastics in the beach sand for further research at Griffith University. The group learnt that each year we eat the equivalent of a credit card in plastic!
