P&F Receives $10,638 Grant

Radford College Parents & Friends Association (Radford P&F) has been awarded a grant of $10,638 from the ACT Government as part of the ACT Education Directorate’s Non-Government School Parent Engagement Grants Program. The aim of the Grants Program is to foster and enhance parent engagement in children’s learning, through building strong partnerships with parents and families.

Radford P&F’s grant proposal focused on enhancing parent engagement, building team rapport and uplifting skills and confidence within Radford P&F to address the reduction in engagement as a result of COVID-19.

To do this, Radford P&F will employ the services of the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) Corporate to develop and provide the Radford P&F committee with customised face-to-face group training.

The training program will focus on the development of:

  • Communication skills with parents to strengthen parent engagement;
  • Responding effectively in the moment;
  • Strategies to deliver successful communication in different environments;
  • Managing challenging communication scenarios;
  • Public speaking and presentation skills, including enhanced physical and vocal presence; and
  • Promotion and media presentation, including social media.

Radford P&F looks forward to the implementation of this program following the Annual General Meeting scheduled on Thursday, 16 March 2023 at 6 pm in RA Young Hall. We encourage parent attendance and note that applications to join Radford P&F are open. For those interested in more information about joining Radford P&F, please contact Monique Glavonjic on 02 6162 6217 or p&f@radford.act.edu.au
