Caitlin Figueiredo (Jasiri Australia and Merici ex-student) with Olivia Straker, College Captain
Merici College has partnered with Jasiri Australia to bring self-defence classed to every student at Merici College. These classes will be undertaken during Women’s Health Week from 3-7 September and will focus on more than just physical techniques. Jasiri will also teach awareness, assertiveness, verbal confrontation and safety strategies that enable students to prevent, escape, resist and survive assaults. Their mission is to assist women, in particular, young women to be their own agents of change and to end all forms of violence against women. Merici is very proud to be associated with Jasiri as together we will pioneer a new violence prevention program and provide Merici students with the tools to become fearless leaders.
