Merici is a Catholic College for young women in Years 7 to 12, which was established in 1959. The College is an authorised IB World School for the Middle Years Programme and the Diploma Programme. We provide an engaging educational environment, designed to challenge our students to take risks within and beyond the classroom to achieve individual academic excellence. Merici College is a welcoming community, where authentic relationships are nurtured, and where dignity and integrity are affirmed. We seek to foster within our students a life-long love of learning, where each young woman is given the opportunity to grow spiritually and intellectually in order to make a positive contribution to society. Our excellent outcomes for students are a culmination of striving to live out our mission: 'Merici challenges you to love life, have hope, be faithful and build futures more wondrous than you dare to dream'. We recognise and celebrate Christ's presence in our community.
