On Friday, 14 February 2020 we welcomed students and guests to the 13th Annual Rutherford College Scholar’s Assembly.

This is a truly special event on our school calendar. We celebrate as a community because it is the success of our community. It is our students, our teachers, our parents, whanau and all the people involved with our feeder schools. It is our people that provide the platform for personal excellence.

Students are acknowledged who achieved NCEA Levels 1, 2 or 3 endorsed with either merit or excellence. This means that a minimum of 50 of the credits attained are at merit or excellence level. We also acknowledged those who gained individual subject scholarships.

At Rutherford, we strive for personal excellence and as a school, we should be proud of our collective success, and also the success of individuals all the way through to the very top of the academic ladder. These students did not fall up there. They climbed and they did so using a ladder, one step at a time, one rung at a time.
