P&F Trivia Night

Our sincere thanks and appreciation to all our community members who attended our Trivia Night on Thursday 5 September. We would especially like to thank the many families and businesses who generously donated gifts. Without your support, the Trivia Night would not be such a success! We would also like to thank everyone for coming dressed up in your table theme. You all look amazing! Special congratulations to the 'Royals' on winning the best dressed table. Congratulations also to all our raffle and trivia winners!

Father and Daughter Liturgy and Dinner

On Tuesday 27 August, over 100 Merici fathers and their daughters participated in our annual Father/Daughter ' Heart of the Father' Liturgy and Dinner. It was wonderful celebrating the significance of fathers and male role models in the lives of all, in the formation of each and everyone of us and in the creation of deeply meaningful communities.

2025 College Captains announced

Our 2025 College Captains have just been announced! Congratulations Laura Davidson who has been elected College Captain and Zoe Crick elected College Vice Captain.

Book Week 2024

Book Week is always the favourite week of the year in the library world. This year has been no exception. We would like to thank the Book Week Committee who have worked so hard to prepare so many wonderful activities for the school community. It began with the cake decorating competition. The talent and creativity within our student body is outstanding. A trivia quiz at lunchtime saw us stretch our literature knowledge and our Pastoral Care classes embracing the healthy competition of book themed quizzes. Thank you to everyone who participated and supported the activities through the week.
