Administration Building – the New Face of the School
Exciting News …..
A new Administration Building is proposed, at the main entrance of the school on the empty grass area in front the existing Adminstration & Hall building. This presents us, as a community, with a unique opportunity to change the face of the school.
It is important that this building embodies the Past, Present & Future of Rutherford College.
How can you contribute?
As part of the Rutherford community we would love to hear what the school means to you and any design ideas that could reflect the Past, Present & Future of Rutherford College.
We will be having a Consultation Night on Tuesday, 17 September 2019, 6pm in the Staffroom, Finger food will be provided.

This might make your school take violent assaults on students more seriously.... and maybe provide better support for the victims rather than for the bullies... my daughter could have been seriously injured or killed after receiving several blows to the head and being thrown to the concrete by one of your students. You continued to allow the attacker to stay at the school, saying you felt she wasn't a risk to other students.. after I told you that she was... and she then went on to assault 2 other students before it was taken seriously. You've failed to let me know that the bully has left the school, so that we could see if my daughter felt safe enough to look at returning to school to get the education that she deserves.... and have not been replying to my emails or asking me how my daughter is doing.... it makes me sick to my stomach that you've tried to twist this around to make my child feel like she is the one that has done wrong in this situation! Saying I'm appalled at how your school has handled my daughters assault would be a complete understatement. Your lack of empathy, support and communication has not only opened my eyes to the lack of safety you provide for your students, but also to many other people in the community. www.facebook.com/34497296301/posts/10156654100846302/
