Careers Expo and Year 11 2019 Information Night
The Career Expo is designed for all Year 9 to Year 12 students and their parents are actively encouraged to attend. It is at this time that the girls can begin to gain an understanding of the extensive variety of courses that are available from all the major institutions within the ACT and surrounding regions. We would like to thank all our special guests and presenters for providing insightful advice to our students thinking about entering their respective career.
Mother's Day Prayer and Breakfast
On the morning of Monday 14 May, our College was honoured by the presence of more than 140 mothers, grandmothers and significant others from our Merici family. It was a wonderful opportunity for our community to celebrate Mothers’ Day with a very special Prayer and Breakfast. The focus of the Prayer was centred around the St Angela Merici Rose which was gifted Merici College this year and is our 2018 Year of Youth symbol, representing the ongoing nurturing that mothers provide to their children every day.
ANZAC Assembly
Merici College held its Anzac Assembly on Tuesday 1 May. The assembly provided the community with the opportunity to pause and remember the men and women who have served in Australia’s Defence Force, honouring their memory. Guest speakers, Yr 10 student, Samantha Trafford and teacher Liza Laird shared their reflections on their recent Battlefields Tour of the Western Front, which they both won as part of the Simpson Prize Competition. Samantha spoke of her great uncle, Ray Trafford who was killed on the western front.
