Book Week
We would like to thank all the students and staff who supported Book Week last week. All week the library has been a hive of activity with scavenger hunts, book quizzes, celebrity heads and of course our very positive Book Week Parade on Wednesday. It was a huge success with great characterisation and costumes, and lots of fun had by all.

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.
