The Radford Collegians were delighted to host our Welcome Back Function on Saturday evening, celebrating the milestone reunions of the Classes of 1995, 2005 and 2015.

It was a wonderful night of reconnection as Collegians reunited with old friends, shared memories and toured the College grounds to see how much has changed since they last set foot on the campus. Alumni travelled from near and far to see their old friends and teachers and relive what it was like to be a Radford College student in the 90s and early 2000s.

Reunions like this remind us that while times change, the heart of Radford College remains the same.

Radford family ties

Among the many highlights, one special moment captured the heart of what it means to be a part of the Radford community. Current Year 12 student and Collegian Captain, Audrey Potter, proudly celebrated alongside her mum, Kate Potter (Class of 1995), who was marking her 30-year reunion. Audrey's grandmother, Wendy Lones, was also present to mark the occasion.

Kate is no stranger to the Collegians network, having also served as President of the Collegians Association, continuing her commitment to keeping Radford connections alive and strong. In 2013, Kate hosted a welcome back function with 6-year-old Audrey in attendance.

Mother and daughter toured the College grounds together, reflecting on the changes across three decades while sharing in the enduring traditions that remain. Their story is a wonderful reminder that Radford is more than a school – it is a community where friendships flourish, family ties deepen and connections span across generations.
