We would like to thank our families who participated in the Family Art Workshops. The program was very successful, giving our families an opportunity to make a lasting memento of their year at Merici. The event ran over two workshops: Thursday 3 August (Workshop 1: Development) and Thursday 17 August (Workshop 2: Completion of Work) with families creating wonderful art pieces.
We would like to congratulate Claire Smart and Elizabeth Zoneff on their recent achievements in their charity challenge to climb the Great Wall of China for Parkinson’s Disease.
Here is Claire's story.
Here is our green tip for the week:
How is Merici College going with our recycling?
Here are the stats:
In 2014 we only recycled 24% of our waste. This number has increased every year and now we currently recycle over 50% of our waste!
2014 - 24%
2015 - 31%
2016 - 43%
2017 - 50%
Keep up the good work!

Congratulations to all our students on their academic achievements throughout Semester 1.
Join the Class of 2007 from Merici College for an evening of memory sharing, old faces and new opportunities to connect! This event is open to all women who attended Merici College who would have graduated from Year 12 in 2007 - it would be great to see all the faces the students grew with and learnt from.
We congratulate Shirahni Mudaliar, Year 12 student and Expressive Arts Captain, on her music achievements with the Canberra Youth Orchestra.
Canberra’s cold temperatures did not favour Merici College Year 10, 11 and 12 students and teachers who rose to the challenge on Thursday 22 June for the annual Student Representative Council (SRC) Vinnies Sleepout.
The group slept outdoors in the New Quad to raise funds for Canberra’s homeless. With the temperature a low of -3 degrees, students and teachers prepared themselves for a cold night out. The aim of the night was to promote awareness within our Merici community of the issue of homelessness and for the students to experience a small part of the reality of homelessness.
Congratulations to Anna Connolly, Year 7 on her success over the weekend, having participated in Regional Special Olympics Basketball Competition at the Australian Institute of Sport winning medals in Skills (2nd in division) and 1st team in division.We wish Anna continued success in all her future endeavours.
Perspectives on a co-educational school, that wasn’t really co-educational
It is hard to believe that 39 years ago I came to Braddon as one of 49 intrepid boys who would form the initial intake of males to the school community.
What struck me as incredible at the time, was the sheer size of the Year 12 girls; they all seemed like Giant Amazonian Women to us scrawny 12-year-old boys, almost scary!
