My Merici

Principal’s welcome

Welcome! Merici College is named in honour of St Angela Merici, a famous educator during the Renaissance period. We are a Year 7-12 Catholic girls’ college, situated in Braddon in the heart of Canberra. We are very proud to be the oldest established Catholic girls’ secondary school in Canberra.

Merici is a vibrant community committed to preparing confident and competent young women well equipped to contribute to the world beyond high school. We create innovative learning environments that meet the needs of individual students and inspire them to strive for the highest levels of personal achievement.

As a Catholic school, our central aim is to guide each individual towards full human development. We seek for each student to grow emotionally, socially, intellectually, spiritually and physically, supported by the principles of the Catholic faith. Merici is also enriched by families from diverse Christian and other faith traditions.

We are a dynamic, welcoming and energetic community with a rich and varied curriculum and an outstanding system of pastoral care. Our Mission Statement is a lived reality within the College: “Merici challenges you to love life, have hope, be faithful and build futures more wondrous than you dare to dream”. Our approach to all areas of college life — pastoral care, curriculum and our co-curricular program — reflects our dedication to this vision. It is grounded in the scripture message of St Paul to the Corinthians of a true Christian community where “faith, hope and love abide” (1 Cor 13:13) Join us as we work together to support and challenge your daughter to develop her talents and share them generously with others.
