We are excited to share the highlights of our participation in the Readers Cup competition, where Radford College entered three teams in the Year 5/6 division. The Readers Cup is an exciting literary competition for students, where they read a selection of books and compete in quiz-style rounds to showcase their understanding and insights.

This year, our students were required to read five books: Pie in the Sky by Remy Lai, August & Jones by Pip Harry, Bindi by Kirli Saunders, Rabbit, Soldier, Angel, Thief by Katrina Nannestad, and Cop and Robber by Tristan Bancks.

Our 15 enthusiastic participants immersed themselves in these diverse stories, each bringing unique perspectives to the discussions and quizzes. Their dedication to reading and preparation was evident throughout the competition. We are incredibly proud of the positive attitude displayed by all our students, who represented Radford College with great pride. Their camaraderie and support for one another were heartwarming to witness.

We are thrilled to announce that one of our teams emerged victorious, claiming the title in the Year 5/6 division! This achievement reflects not only their hard work and commitment but also their passion for reading and learning. Congratulations to all our teams for their outstanding efforts!
