Tena koutou Tena koutou  katoa

On Monday, 3 February we welcomed all students and staff that are new to Rutherford College at a powhiri within our school hall.

We were blessed to have two of our local kaumatua Papa Fred Holloway and Matua Bob Newson attend this ceremony. Both of our kaumatua talked about the importance of education and the wonderful opportunities that exist at Rutherford College for our rangatahi.

At the conclusion of the address by our speakers, Te Kotuku Kapa Haka did a tautoko to acknowledge the speakers.

Welcome to all our new students and staff!
