2023 Australian Sports Foundation Pollies Relay

By Ms Megan Fritsch, Director of Sport

Radford College was once again invited to take part in the Australian Sports Foundation (ASF) Pollies Relay Dash on Tuesday, 5 September.

ASF Pollies Relay Dash 2023.


This year, Year 11 students Josie Holt, Hugo Hayward, Jack Walker, Chloe Miller, Matilda Sullings, Joshua McIntyre, Zoe Hickey and Chrysanthe Karkazis joined more than 50 runners, including Minister for Sport Anika Wells, Senator David Pocock, Hon Dr Andrew Leigh MP, ASF CEO Patrick Walker, Olympic and Commonwealth champions, and media in the relay race at Parliament House.

The 2023 winning team was led by Senator Pocock and supported by Radford team members Hugo and Chrysanthe.

The ASF is the country’s leading non-profit sport fundraising charity that distributes funds to athletes and sports clubs across Australia. It is the only organisation in Australia for which donations are tax deductible.

Radford sport is also creating a stronger relationship with the ASF to support the various sports at the College. Currently, Radford rowing and netball have projects that you can donate to simply by going to rowing and/or netball – we will also be looking at putting place projects for our other sports.

We would like to say thank you to the ASF for its ongoing support and providing our students with such great opportunities.
