Year 10

2019 Book Week dress up parade was a huge success. Beautifully creative costumes, embracing the theme Reading is my secret power and some amazing likeness to Book Characters.

We would like to thank the businesses and individuals who donated items, as well as our fellow Canberra senior students, and the Merici College community for supporting the Lifeline Canberra Stress Down Day and raising $2,000 for Lifeline Canberra.

Our events continue today as we celebrate IWD (International Women's Day) with our students signing up for co-curricular activities. We have over 30 clubs that the students participate in and explore new interests.

Merici College Fashion and Textile students did extremely well again this year at the Canberra Show. We are very proud of all the efforts the girls have made. We would like to mention that several students entered items independently and also received awards. Students include Annabella McNamara Y7 received 1st for her quilt and Maria Georgiadis received 6 awards for a dress and a variety of baked goods. A huge thank you to Susan Anderson who gets all the entries in and does the drop off and pick up.
