In the spotlight
By Mrs Monique Glavonjic, Community Engagement Manager
There are three vibrant organisations that are central to community life at the College: the Parents & Friends Association (P&F), Radford College Foundation and Radford Collegians. Each plays a vital role in nurturing a culture of service, generosity and lifelong connection.
The Parents & Friends Association continues to be the driving force behind the Twilight Fete – one of the highlights of the College calendar. There will be something for everyone on the day, whether it’s your first Fete as a Pre-Kindergarten parent or your last as a Year 12 student. It is a cherished event where families, students and staff come together to celebrate the Radford spirit. We hope to see you there.
The P&F also takes the lead on other family favourites, such as our Welcome Back BBQ, Trivia Night and Artshow@Radford – bringing families together and strengthening the bonds that make Radford so special.
The Foundation’s dedication to providing scholarships and enhancing College facilities ensures that every child has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background. This is a testament to Radford’s commitment to access, equity and excellence.
Meanwhile, the Radford Collegians – our proud alumni network – continues to expand its mentoring and partnership initiatives, creating meaningful connections between past and present students. These relationships provide invaluable guidance and support, reinforcing that the Radford experience extends far beyond graduation.
The dedication of our staff and volunteers is key to the success of these initiatives. The generous manner in which they share their time, expertise and enthusiasm reflects a shared commitment to nurturing a strong and connected community. Through the Foundation’s scholarships, the Collegians’ mentoring programs and the P&F’s community-building events, students are supported academically, socially and personally, and are empowered to reach their full potential at Radford College.
Looking ahead to 2026, we are excited to continue fostering connection and collaboration through events such as the Business Breakfast, International Women’s Day Celebration, Careers Expo and Artshow@Radford. If you or your organisation would like to explore volunteering or partnership opportunities that support our students and enrich the College experience, please get in touch.
As both a parent and staff member, my involvement in the College over the past six years has been profoundly rewarding. Contributing through my work and volunteer efforts has not only made a meaningful difference in my life but has also enriched the experience of my own children, deepening our family’s connection to the Radford community.
