Enrolments
Enrolment Policy
The enrolment policy of Radford College is to be non-selective and to cater for all students.
The date of registration is the major factor when deciding offers of places at the College, however, the College offers equal number of places to boys and girls at its main entry points and maintains equality through the years. To this end, the College maintains separate girls and boys waiting lists. Preference is given to siblings, children of former Collegians, children of staff/Board members and children of practising Anglican clergy. The overarching policy is that enrolment offers are based on the chronological date of registration by gender.
Parents wishing to place their children at Radford College must be prepared to support the policies, rules and discipline of the College.
Registration
On deciding that you would like your son/daughter to attend Radford, the first step in the process is to Register for enrolment. All registrations received are placed on waiting lists in chronological order by Year level and date of entry. This incurs a non-refundable registration fee of $100 per child and all siblings must be individually registered. Please note that the payment of the registration fee does not guarantee enrolment. The current Year levels of entry are Pre-Kindergarten, Year 5, Year 7 and other years as vacancies arise.
The Early Learning Centre opened in 2006 for children aged 4 and 5 years old - ELC Information booklet.
Junior School Information Booklet
To register children on the College waiting list, an Application for Registration form (updated 19/7/07) can be downloaded (you will require Adobe Reader v.8) and returned to:
The Accounts Department
Radford College
College Street, BRUCE ACT 2617
Enrolment Process
During the year prior to the proposed entry and following an Information Evening, an interview is arranged with the appropriate Head of School for those whose position on the registration list makes the offer of a place likely.
By the end of the year all parents will have been informed of their child's prospects of a place. For those who cannot be placed, the option will be given to remain on the waiting list for a possible vacancy in a future year. Following the offer of a place and at the time of completing the enrolment form, parents are asked to pay an enrolment fee of $750 and a student deposit of $750. The deposit will be refunded (less any outstanding debits) when the student leaves the College.
