Student Athlete Achievements

Water Polo – Last round before Christmas
By Molly Jones, Forward - Radford Water Polo
On Saturday, 10 December, the Year 7/8 Radford Raptors played their last game before the Christmas break against Woden Waves. In the first ten minutes of the game, the girls really had to persevere. At half time, Kate Daly explained good tactics for a successful game. Throughout the whole game, Phoebe Fox demonstrated great leadership while stopping goals.
Gemma O’Rourke and I gave the opponents a hard time while on offence. Kate Kristiansen, Svara Kelkar and Carys Hodgkinson were amazing on defence - not letting the ball pass them without fighting for it.
The girls have shown how much they have improved throughout this year of water polo. The final score was 3–9 to Waves. All the girls can agree this was one of the toughest games of the season, but with persistence, the girls managed a great first year of Secondary School water polo.
Football Refereeing
By Dianne Wilson, Sports Operations Manager
Capital Football has significantly increased referee payments (as much as 50 per cent in some age groups) for the 2023 season. You can now earn up to $70 refereeing Junior League games. Parents and students are encouraged to consider refereeing, which is also a great way to develop life skills and keep fit.
Those who commit to refereeing at Radford will also have the cost of the course and registration and half the cost of the uniform and equipment reimbursed.
Check out the Capital Football website for further information and upcoming courses, including online and female-only course options starting as soon as early February. The Level 4 course is recommended.
Contact Dianne.Wilson@radford.act.edu.au once you have completed a course to be appointed to games.
Please note – Radford Sport does not get officially notified by SSACT nor ACT-based associations when a student is selected in a representative team. This information is publicised on the SSACT Facebook page, the State Sporting Association websites, or needs to be provided by the student or parent to CCSports@radford.act.edu.au to be celebrated.
