Testimonials

“Merici’s vertical grouping in Pastoral Care is great, allowing older students to develop their leadership skills and to be role models, instilling a larger sense of community and belonging which builds school spirit.”

“I like how welcoming and kind all the students are towards each other.  It’s a really happy place where I always feel at home.”

At Merici, we do not only acquire knowledge in the classroom, but grow as a person through every aspect of our school life.  The community environment and sense of belonging we experience here at the College support us as individuals in our journey towards adulthood.”

“I like our Pastoral Care System.  I can say with confidence that I know everyone in our year, and the majority of the two years above and below us.  We get along really well too so that is a bonus!”

“Being in an all-girls school brings about a feeling of comfort and unity.  It is like we are one big family and we don’t have the pressures of trying to impress boys, or have the distraction of boys either!”
Year 11 student

“It’s great because we get the feeling of responsibility – knowing that the younger ones look up to us – that we have to set a good example.”

“Because there are fewer students I find teachers have more time for me and I am not left alone in handling the more difficult senior years.”
