Merici College Green Tip #11 - Want to reduce your indoor air pollution

Get a plant!

Australians spend around 90% of their time indoors.

Studies show that indoor air is more polluted than outdoor air.

Indoor plants are an easy and attractive way to purify the air in your home and workplace.

Keep them away from your pets though!

Easter Liturgy

Easter is the greatest celebration in the Catholic church signifying the completion of the Holy week that ends with the resurrection of Jesus. Today, to mark this special occasion in the Church’s calendar, Merici College commemorated these events with a very special liturgy. The students reflected Jesus’ journey through the Stations of the Cross. They also acknowledged the story of our indigenous brothers and sisters, focusing on the universality of the human spirit and how it we come together as one in the spirit of communitas.

Merici College Green Tip #10 - Happy Easter and......

Happy Easter!

Did you know:

  • Australians produce 540kg of household waste per person, each year. 
  • That's more than 10kg for every single person, every single week. 
  • Of the estimated 67 million tonnes of waste Australians generated in 2017, just 37 was recycled, leaving 21.7 disposed of in landfill. 
  • It's estimated about 130,000 tonnes of Australian plastic ends up in our waterways and oceans each year.

Clean Up Our Waste

What can you do?

Palm Sunday Rally for Refugees

Thank you to our staff and students who attended the Palm Sunday Refugees Rally yesterday and supporting this important moment in our community to come together to speak out for justice for people seeking asylum. #justice4refugees #communitas #empoweringindependence

 

Merici College Green Tip #9 - What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

At school, home and work in the ACT look for yellow bins. Into these bins, please put only glass jars and bottles, plastic containers, cans, paper and cardboard.

Nothing else and definitely no food or soft plastics.

Thanks for doing your part to reduce waste to landfill.
