Official International Baccalaureate (IB) Stamp of Approval – MYP Authorisation
We are pleased to announce our formal authorisation as an IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) school. We have been preparing and trialling the MYP for the last 2 years and have received the final ‘stamp’ of approval that we meet IB international standards.
This means we are the only non-government school in Canberra authorised to offer both the MYP and Diploma Programme (DP), providing an IB continuation of programmes.
Creativity is about human expression and communicating deeply. It is a gift where every artist desires to share a glimpse into part of themselves. Merici College celebrates the artistic gifts and talents of our students throughout the year but especially at our annual Showcase Exhibition. Our students are creative risk takers, they day-dream and work hard to craft the product that tells the story they want to be told in the medium they choose to explain the mystery of life, and the adventure we are all on.
I am pleased to announce that following a panel selection process, Anna Masters has been appointed as Principal, Merici Catholic College, Braddon from the start of the 2021 school year.

Can you imagine a student working on a Geography project that is also assessed by their French teacher? Or how about having to work on a Italian project that is also marked by a Business teacher?
The IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) at Merici College offers just such an opportunity. Students are provided with the chance to connect and collaborate across subjects through what is known as an interdisciplinary unit (IDU). The purpose of this is to allow students to investigate complex problems through different lenses whilst referring to knowledge gained in different disciplines.
