A Student Reflection by Caitlin Dunne - Cambodia Immersion 2024

Over the holidays, I participated in an immersion trip to Cambodia. There was a group of eight students from Merici from various year levels who forged new friendships in a foreign country.

I enjoyed visiting Cambodia because it was a new experience that showed me more about the world we would otherwise not see in Australia. I would love to go back and experience more of Cambodia since I really enjoyed it.

Merici College Green Tip #24 - It is National Landcare Week

It is National Landcare Week.

Monday 5 – Sunday 11 August, 2024

Landcare is for Everyone (L.I.F.E)

Landcare Week is an annual celebration of Landcare held during the first week of August to acknowledge the Australians who are actively restoring, enhancing and protecting the natural environment in their community.

Landcare volunteers and groups work all year to care for the environment in their community, and Landcare Week is an opportunity for groups to promote their projects and thank their volunteers.

Merici College Green Tip #23 - What is integral ecology?

Integral ecology has emerged from the Pope's Laudato Si encyclical.

“Integral Ecology weaves together the myriad approaches to the natural world in an effort to respond as effectively and timely as possible to the complex ecological problems that face ourselves, our communities, and our world in an evolving universe. 

In effect, Integral Ecology unites consciousness, culture, and nature in service of sustainability. 

People who are utilizing the Integral ecology framework recognize that it is not enough to integrate ecosystems and social systems. 

An Update on the Merici College Mentoring Program

Students at Merici College have been participating in the Mentoring program since 2010.

During this time, students have worked with volunteers from Black Mountain School as they undertake work experience at Merici performing tasks such as administration, working in the canteen and assisting with the kitchen garden.

The Merici students have gained great experiences out of this program and those who successfully completed the program also obtained a Certificate I in Active Volunteering.
