Merici College is a Year 7-12 Catholic girls’ College, situated in Braddon in the heart of Canberra. We are named in honour of St Angela Merici, a famous educator during the Renaissance period.

Established in 1959 and known at that time as Canberra Catholic Girls’ High School, we are dedicated to excellence in the education of young women. From 1983, the year of our Silver Jubilee, the College has been known as Merici College.

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.
