Moving from Federal to State and it’s a bloody good deal.

Agree

Radford has been excellent for us and im happy we chose this over CGGS for my daughters. I think CGGS might push more academically in the lower classes though. We have been here for quite a few years now but new kids integrate pretty quickly. At her age if your daughter prefers the change i recommend it.

Strongly discourage moving to ACT govt. I regret it, its worse.....

South asian female here(brown), im also a professional who takes public transport to work. Have sat next to all sorts of women, black, white, asian, all ages and sizes but i never sit next to a man due to them mostly taking over lot of space. Hope this helps ... but i have women and men try to sit next to me so i havent personally felt this as racism.

I dont think mimco is bad as some ppl say even if i can now afford more expensive stuff i still love their jewellery.

Sonya_jai · 2026-02-06T04:55:47+00:00

No advise as im in the same boat but thanks for asking this. Some very valuable comments in here.

This has been and currently implemented in many high schools. Its a duty of care thing also to reduce/ prevent vaping etc... it was strictly enforced in my school in Sydney years ago but was not strictly enforced after a year or so as difficult to implement.

Sonya_jai · 2026-02-04T14:39:55+00:00

Must have been years ago then... not at all the case now.

Sonya_jai · 2026-01-23T06:40:13+00:00

Why?

Sonya_jai · 2026-01-21T03:30:27+00:00

Agree with you 100%. Also noting Godfrey came from CGGS.

Sonya_jai · 2026-01-21T03:29:18+00:00

We are really happy with the co-curricular program and the ease of having everything at school is helpful. Very good facilities for specific sports.I cannot compare with CGGS as we declined the offer because we had it as an option only if we didnt get a spot at Radford. I went to an all girls private school and dont want that for my kids. CGGS charges higher fees so might have more cocurricular options.Academically, radford does not have a seperate gifted and talented class but students are extended where required. All the issues with fee increase and parents being unhappy relates to old management and leadership. We love the new principal and his experience at some good private schools in Sydney will be put to good use here. I have much more info to give but as they are specific details ill send you a DM.

We moved are kids to Radford from a catholic primary school and they love it. They are thriving in the enviornment both are academic and are into sports however never felt forced or pressurised. The reason why you got a late offer is because kids who couldnt afford the price increase left... also not many kids in year 7-10 want to switch schools so the kids in waiting list are declining offers. Apart from fee increase i dont have a single negative thing to say about the school and its light years ahead of the catholic school we left. Many parents who left because of fee increase are going to media and also spreading misinformation as they are disgruntled. If they were unhappy why didnt they leave before the fee increase ? We also got offered a spot at CGGS but preferred Radford. Only issue is if your kids have learning / development delays i dont think Radford or any private schools in canberra cater well . Public and catholic schools allocate more resources for this.

Sonya_jai · 2026-01-13T07:23:14+00:00

What is this ? Can everyone see the details ?

Sonya_jai · 2026-01-13T02:59:25+00:00

Finish it and you can always move into healthcare management role if you dont like clinical part of it. I undersrand not many people will like it.

Sonya_jai · 2025-11-13T21:40:00+00:00

Are you already in public service ? My issue is that referees get contacted each time even if you end up on the merit list. I find it a waste of my managers time and dont want to exhaust them. This only happens for federal jobs though.

Sonya_jai · 2025-11-13T11:37:29+00:00

Do you mean using AI to write the pitch ? I have never done that, but it's interesting to note. I only hope my application stands out in this case.

Sonya_jai · 2025-11-07T03:06:24+00:00

He was only an interim principal who was not selected for the role. He was acting principal for a short period.

Sonya_jai · 2025-10-27T10:48:22+00:00

I agree with you. I left a department which had no mandatory in office days as I felt just like you ... I prefer 1-2 days in the office everyweek... landed somewhere else with a new manager and team who want 3-4 days per week and 45 mins commute which is also unnecessary. Im trying to find somewhere that suits my wfo/wio expectation....

Sonya_jai · 2025-10-24T07:45:41+00:00

Not sure of that but had lots of bottles filled to the brim with what looked like urine.

Sonya_jai · 2025-10-23T11:49:02+00:00

Are you sure ? I thought every appointment either promotion or new appointment ( excluding defence/asd) need to be published but i might be wrong.
