Robyn Brennan shared in the Radfordian update the following: School has taught us a great deal and has given us many experiences that we will never forget: from letting go of balloons on our first daunting day at Radford, to the bivvies of Year 9 camp. Though, how many of us are going to get to lectures, jobs or tutorship duties on time without Ms Raine there yelling at us in the senior quadrangle ...to get to class, is questionable. Step boldly into the new millennium Class of '99 and take up the new challenges its holds knowing that the experiences and opportunities Radford has given us will help us face these challenges. --- Have some old photos you would like to share, please DM us or email us at [email protected]
