It's Your P&F: Term 1 Update

Lisa McPherson, President.

From the President

Happy belated New Year! Welcome back to a new school year and a special welcome to new families who have joined Radford College this year.

It was especially lovely to see all the new families recently at the P&F Welcome BBQ on 10 March. Despite the postponement, many families enjoyed the movie, Minions, Rise of Gru, in the new venue of RA Young Hall. Everyone enjoyed the BBQ hosted by the P&F and ice creams donated by Radford Foundation. Many thanks to all the volunteers who made this event happen.

Students can get more information from their art teachers. We will soon be calling for volunteers, so please help out where you can for this wonderful event.
