Year 11:

Merici College Year 9 and 10 Defence students participated in a combined schools’ Defence Activity session at B-Firm Swing into Life on Wednesday 18 September. This was an opportunity for students of Defence personnel to participate in a range of challenging activities which encourage: leadership, problem-solving, cooperation and communication.

The girls had a fantastic time!

In our #YearofYouth we continue to explore ways to discover new horizons to experience #Joy. As part of Catholic Schools Week, Merici College hosted Canberra’s largest thrift shop social event,  “Merici Night Out” which was a concert-style fundraising event for Catholic Mission.

We would like to thank our dancers for supporting this community event!
