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.

She also competed at Ice Zoo Artistic Mascot NSW on Sunday 8th April also representing the ACT and placed 1st.

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

 We would like to thank Caitlin Figueiredo for speaking to our Student Representative Council (SRC) members at their Leadership Day today. Caitlin spoke about the importance of giving and compromise when you are a leader and the ability to see the ‘big picture’ and to make 'big dreams'. Her presentation was an inspiration to all our students. Caitlin also had the opportunity of visiting her old PC classroom, Ningil 6, now a renovated science lab! We look forward to seeing Caitlin back at Merici in August.

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.
