Radford College sports wrap
Australian representatives
Once again, Radford students are being recognised on the national stage for their outstanding sporting achievements. Congratulations to Ashley (Year 9), who has been selected for the Water Polo Australia U16 National Development Squad following her dominant performance at the 2025 National State Championships.
National coaches identified Ashley as an athlete with strong future potential, and she will now benefit from ongoing involvement in a targeted state and national development program.
Sporting achievements
Congratulations to Will (Year 6), who represented Radford and SSACT at the 2025 12&U School Sport Australia Hockey Championships in Bendigo. Will played a pivotal role in the team’s impressive fifth-place finish, ending the tournament as their second-highest goal scorer – an outstanding achievement!
In water polo, and joining Ashley at the recent 2025 National State Championships in Canberra, was Molly (Year 10), who represented the ACT in the U17 women’s competition.

SSACT Scholarship Fund
The SSACT Scholarship Fund is once again open and available for students who have been selected in a SSACT representative team and is required to travel interstate to compete at the respective School Sport Australia National Championships.
More information on the Scholarship Fund, criteria and the application form can be found here.
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 a '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
