Celebrating a year of connection and growth
By Mrs Monique Glavonjic, Community Engagement Manager
In 2025, students, families, Collegians, staff and supporters came together in countless ways that showcased what it means to be part of the Radford community. Whether gathering for major events, cheering on students, volunteering time or supporting initiatives across the College, our community continued to demonstrate generosity and genuine care for one another and for the College.
This year, the Parents & Friends Association (P&F) Committee helped strengthen the fabric of College life by hosting vibrant and welcoming events that brought families together from the first day of Term 1, through to the end of the year. These included shared experiences at concerts, carnivals, assemblies, the Fete, around the coffee cart and many more.
The P&F is also pleased to share that the $40 per child levy will be waived for 2026. With healthy reserves and successful fundraising efforts, the P&F is confident it can continue delivering meaningful programs and initiatives without relying on next year’s levy.
The P&F also recognises that many families in our community are navigating financial uncertainty. By waiving this levy, the P&F hopes to provide a genuine gesture of support and relief.
The Radford Collegians played an important role in 2025, strengthening ties between past and present students through various events including the International Women's Day event, Collegians Career and Networking Expo, Collegians vs Year 12 soccer matches and Collegians Buddy Program.
Their presence throughout the year was greatly appreciated by our students, especially at Graduation, where Collegian Ashleigh Foster (Class of 2005) welcomed new graduates into the Collegians network.
Thank you to the Collegians' principal sponsor, Tailored Accounts, led by Chief Executive Officer and Radford College parent, Mr Harry Hoang OAM, for your support and generosity in supporting key initiatives throughout the year that enhanced our student and community connections.
This year also marked a proud milestone for the Radford Foundation, which celebrated the graduation of two exceptional scholarship recipients, Ella and Savidu, whose journeys reflect the transformative impact of community generosity. Their successes are a testament to the opportunities created through the support of our donors, and we invite you to watch their stories here:
As we come to the end of the year, we extend our deepest thanks to everyone who contributed to the life of Radford College in 2025.
