2020 Swimming Carnival Results

Congratulations to all students who competed in both the competitive and novelty events. There was certainly an abundance of community spirit and everyone had an enjoyable day. It was wonderful to see so many girls participating in all of the events and our senior girls leading by example. A big thank you to all the parents, students and staff members who helped make the day a success.

After a summer of fire and smoke many times the maximum hazardous level, loss of life and property and the catastrophic impact on so much of our precious wildlife, many are experiencing anxiety and concern for the future. 

I am among you. So are my children. Also Greta Thunberg and Australian economist Steve Keen (see attached article).

What is an IB Education?

Merici College is an IB World school, authorised to deliver the IB Diploma and candidate school* for the Middle Years Programme (MYP). We are continuing our implementation of the MYP with Years 7 to 9, but what makes an IB education different?

Email Issues

Merici College has experienced some significant email issues this week. Today we are resetting all correspondence settings in an effort to ensure that our parents get the information you need. Over the weekend you will receive an email with the subject title: TEST (it will have no other content).

 

1. If you receive the message and all is good – relax.

2. If you still do not receive this email – please contact [email protected] 

Principal's Address - Opening School Assembly

I’m pleased to have our entire school together to celebrate the beginning of this academic year, and to welcome new staff and students that have joined us over the holidays here at Merici College.

A special welcome to the Year 7s who start their journey of being a high school student. And to the new students who have joined Merici into Years 8-11 – welcome and I hope you feel excited about your arrival.

I hope you have had a relaxing and rejuvenating summer holiday break. School has arrived, and with it, new dreams to achieve and new horizons to explore.
