It’s been a busy start to the school year and we hope that all students are starting to settle in to their new routines and schedules. As we begin to embark on our academic journey together, we thought that it would be a good time to remind students and their families of some good study habits to set themselves up well to achieve their goals.

This was begun only five years ago by Alice Hathorn from ACT Urban Woodland Rescue who is guiding our project.
Valuable ecosystem services have been restored and 12 species of butterfly have returned to the area.
We are looking forward to seeing our hard work translate into the same beautiful outcome!

As Merici College family we gathered yesterday, Wednesday 15 February, to celebrate our 2023 Opening School Mass.
This is a new beginning with fresh hopes and unknown possibilities. Maybe even some concerns are emerging in our hearts.So how will we embrace what may unfold for us, day by day.
Our school theme for 2023, Communitas will guide us on our journey. We are encouraged to reflect on the inclusiveness of our community and the relationships that we have with one another.
The Theologian: Bernard Lonergan reminds us:
Welcome Kylie Olsthoorn, Health and Physical Education Coordinator.
As many people would know, Türkiye and Syria have been struck by a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake. Thousands of deaths have been reported in Türkiye and Syria and the death toll is increasing by the hour. Freezing winter weather is only adding to the devastation, as the thousands left injured, trapped or homeless are stuck in bitter cold and rain.
Merici College will be having a uniform free day (with a suggestion of wearing red items of clothing or accessories in solidarity with the country's national colours).
Students, we would love to meet you!
Do you want to join an award-winning team and take part in sustainable actions at school to make a difference?
Come by our stall at the Activities Expo next Thursday to say hello, have a cookie and sign up for the year with SAM.
Bring a friend!
