May 4 is considered a holiday by Star Wars fans to celebrate Star Wars culture and honour the films. We here at Merivale High School would like to wish all those that help to keep us safe from Darth Vader's evil empire a very happy May 4th.

On Wednesday, May 2, the staff and students of our school headed out on our annual Community Clean day. Marauders were seen all over helping to get rid of the garbage that surrounded our school.

Some students may have put in a little too much effort and got rid of fellow classmates as well.
