Spiritual - Junior School - PreK-Year 6
Radford College is an Anglican School within the Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn and seeks to live as a Christian community.
The Christian faith is positively presented as a meaningful and relevant way of life. This is achieved by bearing witness to the teachings of Christ in all aspects of College life.
Through formal and informal study of the Scriptures, students are encouraged to know about this God-given guide for living a Christian life. Corporate worship based on the practices of the Anglican Church aims to enhance the significance of worship and of belonging to a Christian community, both in the present and in life beyond the School.
Students meaning found in intellectual disciplines, in other religious faiths and in the personal lives of individual members of the School community. The Chaplains are available to parents, students and staff for counselling, help, support and spiritual direction.
The practical aspect of Christianity is encouraged through support of a wide variety of charities and community services. Radford College attempts to challenge students to think for themselves in order to discover the meaning and purpose of life.

Junior School - Religious cocurricular
Religious and Values Education in Years 1-6 is integrated into the curriculum and has a primary focus of helping students to think about who they are and how they interact with their communities. This complements the work of the College Chaplains. In addition to some introductory work on Biblical stories, the course explores some basics of logical thinking and explores "meaning" - through language, science, religion and faith, personal experience and involvement with other people. One of the Chaplains is attached to the Junior School and has an input into curriculum across all KLAs as well as participating in classroom activities.
