Radford College Sports Wrap

Years 10–12 AFL Gala Day

On Tuesday, 13 May, Radford College participated in the AFL ACT Senior Schools Cup – North Region held at Reid Oval. The Gala Day brought together senior boys and girls teams from across the region for a day of competitive Australian Rules Football. The AFL Senior Schools Cup is a key fixture in the ACT school sports calendar, providing students with opportunities to engage in high-level competition, represent Radford in the AFL and showcase their skills on the field. Radford players displayed great passages of play throughout the day and fantastic camaraderie.

Important

  • Radford students who choose to take part in trials for SSACT teams are to follow the registration process for the respective sport trials. The majority of SSACT trials are conducted after school hours, however if the trial does take place during the school day, it is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to notify the College of their child’s absence and provide supervision.
  • If a Radford student is selected in a SSACT representative team, it is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to follow the normal College absence processes

School Sport ACT Scholarship Fund

The School Sport ACT (SSACT) Scholarship Fund is once again open. This is available to students who have been selected in a SSACT representative team and who are required to travel interstate to compete at the respective School Sport Australia National Championships.

More information on the Scholarship Fund and its consideration criteria, can be found within the resources section of the SSACT website homepage: SSACT Scholarship Fund Information and Application.

Successful applicants will receive a $500 deduction from their team fees during the payment phase of the team preparation process. The approval process can be quite quick once the student is selected and one of the criteria is deemed as 'Circumstantial Hardship', e.g. multiple children from the same family making teams in a close timeframe.

Scholarship applications are to be submitted to eo@schoolsportact.org.au.
