Dear Community,
I am very pleased to invite all members of our community, past and present students, staff and friends...
Merici College students participated in the St Vincent de Paul Doorknock Appeal on 15th February. 30 students went out into Ainslie and Campbell to raise money for the support services the St Vincent de Paul Society provides to the Canberra community. Despite feeling nervous, these students rose to the challenge and returned with stories about the surprising generosity they encountered.
We would like to congratulate and thank our co-curricular Music students for their participation in performances at the Royal Canberra Show this year. The contribution that these students have made towards supporting community events and representing Merici College has been amazing.

Each year we hold a Year 11 Conference to induct students into Year 11 and life as a senior. The Conference is a formal program designed by the pastoral and academic staff at Merici to ensure students are fully aware of her responsibilities as a senior. The Conference was held at the Warrumbui Retreat and Conference Centre from Thursday 9 February – Friday 10 February and was a huge success. Special thanks to all our Year 11 students and staff for their wonderful participation.

I’m writing this post from my desk at Merici on a pleasant mid-February morning. The sun is shining, and a cool breeze drifts into the office from the window on my left. It’s a stark contrast to the sweltering conditions that gripped most of Australia’s east coast from Friday until Sunday.
