The Turning Circle

The Turning Circle

By Mrs Annette Carter, College Historian

We started off this term gathering around the Turning Circle for the ANZAC Commemorative service on 29 April. Indeed, the Turning Circle is one of the most recognisable meeting places at the College.

Its name, ‘Turning Circle’, is seen on the earliest site plans.

Although it might seem like an arbitrary piece of landscape that provides a recognisable spot for drop-offs and pick-ups, the Turning Circle is an integral part of the College's history. More importantly, the Turning Circle has witnessed countless moments of student and community interaction over the decades and has also witnessed how Radford College has changed since its very beginning.
