We hope all our students and staff had a wonderful day celebrating the Feast Day of St Angela Merici.
On Friday 31 May, our College community celebrated the Feast Day of St Angela Merici. In 2024, our journey at Merici College is guided by the profound theme of "Spes," meaning hope - a beacon that shines brightly as we commemorate the feast Day of Saint Angela Merici and 65 years of Catholic education in Braddon. Anchored in the timeless wisdom of St. Angela, we embrace hope as our steadfast companion, echoing the biblical assurance, "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure" (Hebrews 6:19).
On Thursday 30 May, our Art students enjoyed the opportunity of attending a Photography workshop facilitated by Peter Solness, a pioneer of night photography and stunning light-painting techniques. Peter shared his wealth of knowledge and skills to the students. Thanks so much Peter for spending time at Merici College. #petersolness #mericiarts
In October last year, I wrote a Year 9 History essay on the contemporary relevance of ANZAC Day. Simple enough, as essay writing is the currency of the high school Humanities student. However, little did I know that this essay would lead to a life changing (and life enhancing) experience, and a turning point in the way I view my schooling and future.
As it gets cooler, there are multiple instances of heaters at school being turned up as high as they can go, and even left on overnight as high as 27 degrees overnight.

We all can contribute to the preservation of bees and other pollinators:
Plant nectar-bearing flowers for decorative purposes on balconies, terraces, and gardens.
Buy only Australian made honey and hive products.
Raise awareness among children and adolescents on the importance of bees and express your support for beekeepers.
On Tuesday 21 May, Merici College hosted an international delegation attending the Current of Grace Conference in Canberra. Mrs Masters welcomed the delegates warmly and Mrs Harrold-Carter explored ways that Merici College employs the four phase model of Youth Ministry . Our students showcased the CSYMI program, starting with engaging ice breakers and role plays. They shared personal testimonies and recounted their experiences as members of the ACU Academy programme. The activities were structured around the CPR model of youth ministry—Connection, Proclamation, and Response.
