2021 has been a busy year for the Rutherford Knights. Our motto is “the measure of success” and I’m sure we will remember it for being a successful one too.

It’s been another incredibly full on term to finish the year. The seniors are busy with their exams, the Year 10’s are getting ready to join the senior school and the Year 9’s are getting ready to move out of Rakahuri into the Year 10 spaces.

Hillary students really rallied at the end of 2021, showing high levels of grit and that 'never say die' attitude Sir Edmund was famous for.

The Inaugural Module E kicked off when Seniors left. Students have been offered an amazing range of opportunities to taste within the last four weeks of term.

Big Brothers Big Sisters have an amazing event in January for our tamariki.
