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.

On Thursday 29 March, the Merici College community reflected on the significance of Easter by exploring the Stations of the Cross and other important aspects of Holy Week in the Easter Liturgy. The liturgy was completely student-focussed with approximately 50 students leading all elements. We wish our community a very Holy and safe Easter.
