Dear Community,
I am very pleased to invite all members of our community, past and present students, staff and friends...
Wow, what a year. Bushfires, smoke, hail, COVID-19, remote learning and the constant feeling of not really knowing what was going to happen next, has made this a highly unusual year for everyone. It is definitely a year we would like to not repeat, but it has also shown how amazing and resilient the Merici community really is, including the Science Department.
We wish to pass on our congratulations and best wishes to all our Graduands for 2020.
83 students received their Year 12 ACT Senior Secondary Certificate. 60 students completed a Tertiary Package and received an ATAR. 23 students completed Accredited Packages, which included Vocational qualifications.

While the holidays are a time for gifts and gathering, they are also overflowing with single-use plastic packaging that pollutes our communities, our environment, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.
THE YEAR IN MATHEMATICS
Throughout this year, students across Year 7-12 have shown resilience and creative ways to engage in Mathematics, both online and in the classroom.
We have welcomed to the Department Mr. Damien Nemeth and Miss Emma Bishop at the start of the year and Mr. Ed Mickleburgh and Mr. Damien Woods in Semester 2. All come with a wealth of experience and a passion for teaching and learning.
We congratulate the following students who received an award at the 2020 BSSS Recognition of Excellence Ceremony today. The BSSS Recognition of Excellence Ceremony is a prestigious award ceremony in December by the BSSS. Awards are given in five categories: Community Services, Vocational Studies, Academic Excellence, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students and Academic Achievement. We congratulate:
Welcome to the last Green Tip of the year!
Usually, the tip at this time of the year has some suggestions for how to reduce your environmental impact at Christmas.
This year, while researching I came across an article that provides 3 useful tips while counting how many tonnes of waste have gone to landfill in the time that readers are visiting their website. It is an eye-opener that provides motivation for reducing our environmental footprint not just during the festive season, but all year around.
Welcome to what we hope is our first edition of “Merici Shorts”, a publication of short fiction written by our students. This year has been, it’s been said a million times, “unprecedented”. We have become almost blaze about how unusual the year has been. Will it leave the world a changed place, and for the better? Only hindsight will give us the answer to that. Reading this work, I wonder how this year has effected or set the mood of the pieces. It’s an interesting, and perhaps dark, collection of work and I hope you enjoy it.
