We would like to thank our fathers and daughters for attending our special evening on Friday 30 September. The evening commenced with a very special Mass celebrated by Father Bernie Patterson and followed with a wonderful meal prepared by our Senior Hospitality students.

We would like to thank our dancers for their ongoing commitment to entertaining our community and attending community events.
On Friday 30 August, it was the turn of Year 9 and 10 students to represent Merici at the Legislative Assembly Parliamentary debates.
Issy Dunn, Pragnya Gupta, Anna Wearden and Mishal Kamran delivered very polished arguments and represented us with pride. They really enjoyed their experience and have asked me to recommend that we keep sending teams to these events.
For the record, the student politicians decided by vote:
Last week Taylah Ellems (Year 11) went to Mandurah in Western Australia to represent Merici College and the ACT in the Australian School Sports Golf Championship.
