A uniform renewal project will introduce a renewed uniform with gender-neutral options and trans-seasonal pieces. Final decisions will be made early in 2025; the renewed uniform will be available in Term 4 2025, officially launched in 2026, with a two-year transition and full adoption by 2028.

House System

Radford College has eight Houses that compete in five major events: swimming, cross-country, athletics, performing arts, and The Bishop's Cup.

Students are allocated to a House when they commence and belong there for the duration of their time at the College, with each House led by staff and student Captains.
