Like all great sporting stories, the Merici 7/8 Softball win in the ACT Schools Carnival began with the odds stacked squarely against it…
A month out from the tournament we didn’t even have enough players, so the girls were told they had some work to do if they wanted to compete in the carnival. Undeterred, the girls just got to work organising themselves, gathering in more players, showing up to every training and working hard to make sure they could field a team. And a little seed was planted.

As part of the Year 10 Semester One, 2017 Religious Education Unit: ‘Interfaith Dialogue’, our students visited four Religious sites to listen to representatives speak about their religious beliefs and customs, to gain awareness and appreciation of the diversity of traditions within Canberra. We would like to thank the Hindu Temple, Sri Vishnu Shiva Mandir in Mawson, the Canberra Mosque in Yarralumla, the Sikh Temple in Weston and the Thai Buddhist Temple in Lyneham for making time for our students and teachers.
