Life beyond Radford
Sara Toscan ( Cottingham )
What does life look for you now?
I've been a 'mostly' stay at home Mum. My husband and I have 2 children, both are now Collegians too.
Tell us what you are passionate about?
I love running, particularly trail running. I completed my first Ultra Marathon in the Blue Mountains in 2018 and it was incredible! I also love supporting my kids in their chosen activities.
What is your favourite Radford moment?
Year 9 camp would be my number 1 pick followed by Yr 11 Geography tour to NZ & Yr 12 tour to Central Australia. I participated in the 2016 Foundation Day concert, organised by the fabulous Mr Joel Copeland, where I sang in the combined student/staff/community choir performing 'The Armed Man' by Karl Jenkins at the Arboretum. This concert was so much fun and it was great to reconnect with participating teachers & Collegians.
Do you have a particular role model or inspirational figure from Radford or now?
Mrs Jenny Murphy (English teacher) as she imparted some lovely words of wisdom to me, for which I have always been grateful for and remembered, and have since passed onto my kids.
What advice do you have for current students?
Your time at Radford will go by so fast, so enjoy it. You are very lucky to attend such a school. There are many wonderful opportunities presented too, so get involved with as much as you can. Don't count the days, make the days count.
