Radford Collegians

Congratulations to Katherine Maundrell, Class of 2025, who proudly represented Australia at the 2026 Junior World Orienteering Championships (JWOC) in Karlskrona, Sweden.

Competing against more than 150 of the world's best junior orienteers, Katherine delivered an outstanding performance to finish 17th overall, an incredible achievement on the international stage.

Orienteering demands exceptional endurance, navigation skills and mental focus, and Katherine’s result reflects years of dedication, hard work and determination.

The entire Radford community is immensely proud of Katherine's achievement and the way she represented both Australia and our College.

What an inspiring and energising event this year's Radford Collegians Career & Networking Expo was!

We were delighted to welcome our Year 10, 11 and 12 students as they connected with a broad and diverse range of industry professionals. The Collegians Centre was buzzing with curiosity, thoughtful questions and meaningful conversations about future pathways and possibilities.

From exploring different career journeys to gaining real-world insights, students embraced the opportunity to step beyond the classroom and engage directly with professionals who generously shared their experiences, advice and passion for their fields.

We were proud to launch the Radford Collegians Mentoring Program, bringing together students, parents and collegian mentors.

Today’s session was the introduction, an opportunity to meet, share stories and begin building the relationships that will grow throughout the program.

As we begin this journey, we are reminded that mentoring is more than a series of meetings. It’s experience meeting aspiration, a bridge connecting those who have walked the path before with those just beginning. It reflects the idea that education does not end at graduation, and that being part of Radford is a lifelong connection built on belonging, support and shared purpose.

We’re excited for what lies ahead and our upcoming sessions in September and November.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the launch so special.
