Year 7 Market Day

By Emily, Year 7 Student

Yesterday the Year 7 students hosted the annual Year 7 Market Day. After weeks of preparation spent making prototypes, decorating logos and planning activities, it finally all came together. It was a vibrant and energetic lunchtime event where we were joined by staff, students in Years 5 to 12 as well as new Year 7 2026 students on campus for Year 7 Orientation. It was a fantastic way to get our new students excited about what is to come in their first year of Secondary School at Radford.

The atmosphere was filled with positivity and excitement as students took on the challenge of putting up a stall. Whether it was a game, food, drink, or crafts stall, the enthusiasm and vibrancy were clear to all. It was amazing to see all the hard work students have put in come to life and be expressed through the creativity of their stalls.

All Year 7 students have put a lot of effort in, pushing through the problems and persevering to make this year's Market Day as special and amazing as it was. Students worked collaboratively in groups of 3 to 5 since the start of Term 3.

From all of Year 7, we would like to thank our amazing mentors who guided us and supported us the whole time. Giving us advice and feedback, helping us through the stress and problems, providing us with solutions, and then finally sharing the excitement with us on the day. It was an amazing lunchtime, packed with fun, that all Year 7 students will never forget.
