2022 Swimming Carnival Results

This year’s Swimming Carnival was held at Civic Pool on Monday 7th November, after postponement due to COVID restrictions in Term 1. Thankfully the weather Gods were on our side, and all enjoyed a beautiful day competing in races and/or having fun through involvement in a variety of novelty events. Congratulations to all students, there was certainly an abundance of community spirit, and everyone had an enjoyable day.

Merici College Green Tip #35 - Rewilding at Merici College

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

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
