Dear Community,
I am very pleased to invite all members of our community, past and present students, staff and friends...
I have fond memories of my time at Merici College and made lifelong friends during my years there. It is hard to believe that it has been nearly 15 years since graduating from Merici, but sharing milestone life events with those friends makes it hard to believe that more time hasn’t elapsed.
Merici College ex-student Caitlin Figueiredo addressed the school community at the Academic Awards Ceremony on Monday 6 August. Caitilin is a proud multicultural Australian, social entrepreneur, activist, and Merici Alumni. She sits on three United Nations Task Forces with her work spanning five continents. At 20 years old, Caitlin was named one of Australia's 100 Most Influential Women and an Obama White House Changemaker for Gender Equality by the President and Michelle Obama.
Sadly we remember Maria Bernice O’Sullivan who died suddenly on Sunday 25 June, 2017 aged 89.
Bernice joined the staff of Braddon Catholic Girls’ High School (the original name of the College) in 1961 as an Art, History and Literature teacher. She retired at the end of 1992.
Australia has a population of over 23 million people.
If every citizen uses only one toothbrush each year - a conservative estimate - Australia’s 23 million toothbrushes would amount to about 350 tonnes of landfill waste annually. On a global scale, the world population of well over 7 billion people will generate over 100,000 tonnes of toothbrush waste if every individual were to use only one toothbrush each year.

#MericiMoment Wall of Words – This week we reflect on the word Family provided by Katherine Keir, Class of 2016. “From teachers to my fellow students in my cohort, I always felt a great sense of family and community in the way I both received and provided support, academic and otherwise, throughout my time at Merici, from year 7 to 12. Through bonding over experiences at Merici, I’m still really good friends with quite a few of the girls I went to school with, and consider them as close as sisters.” Thanks Katherine! #mericialumni #mericipride

The Year 8 students have been learning about this issue, which is so important it deserves to have the awareness raised as far and wide as possible....
Have you ever thought about what happens to your old clothes after you drop them off at the op shop?
Now is the time, because these goodwill gestures are fueling an environmental catastrophe on the other side of the world.
