Year 9

Year 9 History War Memorial Excursion

The College has organised an excursion to the Australian War Memorial, on Tuesday 2 April, for all Year 9 students who are studying History in Semester One. The purpose of the excursion is an educational tour of the First World War galleries, led by War Memorial guides. This tour is directly related to their current focus in class, which is Australia’s role in the First World War. Students will catch a bus to the War Memorial along with their History teacher. Permission notes will be provided to students by their History teacher.

Merici College Gift of Life Walk

On Tuesday 19 March, Merici College students and staff will participate in our DonateLife Walk (https://www.giftoflife.asn.au/).The purpose of the walk is to promote increased organ and tissue donation awareness. One donor can transform the lives of up to 10 people and significantly improve the lives of many more (see flyer attached). Thousands of Canberrans are expected to take part in their own walks either individually or as a team to show their support for this cause.
