Wed 6 Feb                               Term 1 starts - Students Return

It’s hard to believe the school year is over. But what a year it has been!

Most recently we celebrated belonging to the Junior School. We acknowledged significant achievements in the Junior School at the Awards afternoon. We honour and wish our Year 6 students well, as they transition to our Secondary School.

Fun day at the Radford Boatshed
Our Year 6 students were the beneficiaries of a carefully planned day of fun, frivolity and celebration, at the Radford Boatshed on Friday. Many thanks to the Boatshed staff, Junior School staff and our Year 5 students, who planned and supported these activities. The weather was glorious, the atmosphere joyous with many tired but happy smiles.

Staff movements
As we look towards 2019, we would like to acknowledge and thank the following Junior School staff for their contributions:

  • Mrs Lesley Chumack, Miss Justine Shields, Mrs Pauline Carr and Mr Jared Cox, who all finish their contracts. We are grateful for their efforts.
  • Mrs Jen Hillman, who will be taking Long Service Leave in term 1.
  • Mrs Ellie Ellis, who is currently on maternity leave, will not be returning to Radford. We wish her and her family much happiness and success with their relocation to Victoria.
  • Our warmest wishes are extended to Jo and Dean O’Brien as they embark on their teacher exchange to Woodstock, Canada.
  • Ms Emily Campbell, who has been a much loved teacher at Radford for 11 years. Emily is taking up a position at The Anglican School Googong, just down the road from her new home.
