Mathex 2022

On Wednesday 24th August, a Rutherford Year 9 team competed in the Auckland Mathex Competition at the Barfoot & Thompson Stadium, Kohimarama.  This is the first time the competition has been held in three years due to previous Covid restrictions.  The team represented the school with pride and acquitted themselves well.  The combined mathematical talents of Harrison Robb (9WS), Max RobbMarkham (9WS) and Ryan Lee (9WS) were aided by the speedy running ability of Miko Bonkovich (9WS).  The 30 minutes of mathematical problem-solving was hectic as the 140 teams ran to their respective markers.  The team scored in the top…

KBB Music Festival

Due to red light restrictions in term one, indoor gatherings were heavily confined. For the Rutherford College Concert Band, this meant rehearsals couldn't begin until part way through term 2.

The grand halls of the Holy Trinity Cathedral were consumed by an "excellent" performance from Rutherford.
