This is the 3rd year I have been involved with the VInnies CEO Sleepout. At Merici College, we have been doing it for longer with the students in the old quad on a cold winter's night.

This morning Rosemary Zielinski ,Year 12 student, together with senior staff members from Merici and her parents, attended the 2019 Australian Olympiad team’s announcement, that Rosemary has been selected to represent Australia on the Physics team at the 2019 International Physics Olympiad. Rosemary and team members will be competing in Israel from 7-15 July. We wish Rosemary all the best in this international competition.

Listen to ABC Radio Interview with Rosie and team members.

We congratulate Caitlyn Crick on winning the ACT Plain English Speaking Award (PESA) with her speech on gender equality in the workplace. Caitlyn also  delivered an impromptu speech on her magical childhood compared to children from broken homes.  Caitlyn now moves onto the national finals in Brisbane next term. Well done Caitlyn!

Merici students Imogen Dorsett and Brooke Ellis recently represented Canberra at the NSW U15 State Hockey Championships in Wagga, 21-23 June .

The high-caliber, three day tournament saw 35 teams from across NSW, including 2 from the ACT, representing their respective regions.

Imogen and Brooke both played in the Canberra 1 side. Strong teamwork and lots of goals saw the team take out their division with wins in all 7 games, including the Grand Final.

Well done girls!

We would like to thank our students who assisted St Matthew's Primary School yesterday at their athletics carnival held at the College.

The girls were wonderful ambassadors and thoroughly enjoyed helping out with all the running, field and novelty events.

We would also like to thank St Matthew's for the opportunity of hosting the carnival.

Our 60th Anniversary Mural is now up in the Old Quad. It is amazing and captures the story of the founding 10 religious orders, our Catholic faith, Australia, our indigenous connections, all facets of education, co-curricular activities, sustainability and so much more.

The artists, Hullabaloo Studio, have given us the story behind the many design elements on the mural which can be found in the images.

We would like to thank Christine, Regina and Megan (Hullabaloo Studio) and our art students for creating such a beautiful piece of art!
