Senior Business and Legal Studies students welcomed Minister Cash to the College who launched the 2018 edition of Australian Jobs. The publication provides an overview of trends in the Australian labour market to support job seekers and providers, careers advisers, those considering future training and work and people interested in labour market issues.
Minister Cash presented an overview of the Australian labour market to the students, in particular focusing on job opportunities for young women.
We would like to thank Minister Cash for spending time with the girls.

Merici College took part in this year's ANZAC Day March and Ceremony, continuing a long tradition. We were represented by a strong contingent of students and staff and, as always, our girls represented our school with style and dignity. One of the special aspects of this year's ceremony was that it was our turn to deliver the student address. Each year a representative from either Queanbeyan High, Karabar High, St Edmund's College or Merici College has the great honour of presenting a speech about what ANZAC Day means to them.
Monique competed at Penrith Valley Artistic Figure Skating Competition on Saturday 10th March representing the ACT and placing 1st in her division.

We congratulate Monique on her achievements and wish her continued success in future competitions.

We hope that everyone had a very happy and relaxing Easter.
Here are some tips for managing Easter waste sustainably!
