Radford College P & F

Artshow@Radford 2026 – Student Submissions Now Open!

This year’s student theme, Sense of Belonging, invites our students to reflect on what it truly means to belong at Radford.

Through people, places, experiences, culture and community, students are encouraged to explore their personal connection to the College and express this creatively in their artwork.

Whether it’s a favourite space, a meaningful moment, or the friendships that make Radford feel like home, every piece tells a story and we would love to see it.

- Submissions are now open
- Open to students across all year groups
- Each entry is a celebration of identity, connection and community

We look forward to showcasing the incredible creativity of our students at Artshow@Radford 2026.

Thank you to all the families that attended our Welcome Back Event on Friday, 27 February.

What a wonderful way to start the term together!

This week, the Radford College Parents & Friends were delighted to shout our community a coffee, and we are thrilled to share that over 400 coffees were enjoyed by parents, carers and staff across the week.

It was lovely to see so many familiar faces stopping by for a moment to connect, chat and recharge. Small gestures like this are all about building community and saying thank you for everything our families and staff do each day.

A huge thank you to for keeping the coffee flowing and to everyone who stopped by, we loved seeing you.

Here is to a great term ahead!
