Dear Community,
I am very pleased to invite all members of our community, past and present students, staff and friends...
Each year, we have a growing number of students in Year 12 who apply for recruitment to the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) as a pathway for their future career. As part of this recruitment, the Defence Force Academy choose the best students to recognise for their performance in the recruitment process.
We would like to thank our community members who supported our Bridge Benefit Fundraising Dinner on Saturday 14 September in the Merici College Bridge Restaurant. This event is a student-led initiative and is in its fifth year of running with all proceeds to be donated to Barnardos Canberra. We would also like to thank our sponsors who generously donated items for our silent auction.

We are most appreciative of John Nicoletti who has donated a set of books, 'The Grower, The Heartbeat of Australia and The Grower, The Roots of Australia to our school library. The books enable young Austalians to connect with where their food and fibre comes from. As an adolescent John left home with $200 to his name and carved out a great life for himself in agriculture.
This week’s Green Tip has been written by two students, Imogen and Jemma.
Recently we had a tour of the school grounds to look at water management on campus.
At Merici we have adopted a range of strategies that help us save water.
Some of the things that we do at Merici include:
At our recent Father Daughter dinner, guest speaker, Patricia Falcetta (https://sociallivingsolutions.com.au/) shared the following with dads – on the evening a few fathers asked for this and I thought it would be excellent to share with you all.
“Fathers are pivotal in their daughter’s lives. Fathers are very powerful at establishing values for their girls. Values such as trust, respect, honesty, integrity, racism and generosity. Modelling is the best way to demonstrate these values. Remember she is watching you!
We would like to thank everyone who attended our 60th Dinner at the Canberra Rex on Saturday 7 September.

This year marks 60 years since the beginning of Merici College. Our community celebrated this milestone at a very special Mass where we reflected on our past, present and future journey from Canberra Catholic Girls’ High School in 1959, to Merici College in 2019 and beyond.
We were very honoured to welcome our Principal Celebrant for the celebration; His Grace, Archbishop Christopher Prowse, and Concelebrating were Bishop Pat Power, Monsignor John Woods and Fr Bernie Patterson together with Fr Emil Milat, Fr Kieran Adams & Fr Paul Nulley from the Central Canberra parishes.
