Merici College congratulates every graduate on their personal and academic achievements for 2025. 100% of students received their Year 12 ACT Senior Secondary Certificate or IB Diploma.

We look forward to welcoming you to Merici College for Year 7 in 2026! Please find below information that we hope will help with your transition into life at Merici.

We are extremely excited to welcome the new staff, students and families who are joining our Merici community. You are now part of an incredibly caring and nurturing family where we strive to allow every individual to reach their full potential.

Term 1 2026 commences Monday 2 February for Year 7, 11, 12 and new students. Tuesday 3 February is the start date for Years 8, 9 and 10.

We continue to offer opportunities for students to be involved in reading and literature. This year we again participated in the Year 7 & 8 Readers Cup competition and we entered 4 teams to compete at Canberra Grammar School in late October. We were also involved in the CBCA Shadow Judging. In the lead up to Term 3, we transformed our reading club into the Book Week Committee.

2025 has been a year of wonderful and expansive endeavours for Inclusive Education at Merici College. With our ever-growing team of professionals, The Hub, our central support location, has become a constant hive of activity for students across all year levels who need support.

Our students have continued to show their curiosity and creativity. Senior Chemistry students put their forensic hats on, applying their knowledge to analyse a hypothetical crime scene in a unique and engaging assessment task. Across the junior years, Science was full of hands-on experiences. 

This year has been one of exciting developments and transitions within the Mathematics Department.

As an IB school, Merici College is privileged to offer languages as a compulsory subject. Guided by the IB philosophy, we believe that learning a language empowers young people to engage with the world, think critically and appreciate diverse perspectives, all while developing a rich and transferable set of skills.

As a College, we continue to develop our students understanding of people, places, societies and systems.

Congratulations to Jessica Green, Ishiti Gupta and Liesbeth Fittler-Van Tilburg on receiving academic excellence awards.

2025 was an energetic and enriching year for our Health and Physical Education students
