As I write this update, our students in China are getting ready to visit the Great Wall!

All is going well with our intrepid Language students as they undertake Merici’s first trip to China, as you can see from the happy snaps from recent days.

I hear Mrs Preston is busy making poppies for our Anzac Ceremony so it’s lovely to see wherever we are in the world, we are united as the Merici Community.

Here is our green tip for the week:

Saturday, April 22nd is Earth Day – an event celebrated internationally.

Get involved by joining citizens in more than 300 cities around the world in the non-partisan March for Science.

Information about the Canberra march is available at http://marchforsciencecanberra.org/

On Saturday 1st of April nearly two years of preparation by Mrs Jen Baines and Mrs Corinne Preston came to fruition as eight of the nine Merici students and their families gathered at the Jolimont Centre in Civic (the ninth student was already in Sydney!). A total of nine Chinese students from Years 9 to 12 are now on their way on Merici’s first Study Tour of China! The amazing teacher team has travelled together before, to Japan last year, so the students are in good hands. The Chinese students will undertake a 20-day Study Tour of China.

We're excited to announce our new Open Day website. For up-to-date information on our Open Day, access to online registration for Be a Merici Girl days and Information Nights, online bookings for our Bridge Restaurant and much more. Visit the site today!
