As 2010 draws to a close I am once again heartened
by the progress that the school has made and the further gains attained in raising student achievement.
Rutherford College is increasingly a school of choice
with numbers in the school rising to just over 1400 for
2011 plus foreign fee payers.
There is a clear need for the school to carefully manage the number
of out of zone enrolments we take in to maintain the special character
and community feel of our school. I am reminded daily of the unique
pulse that sets Rutherford apart from any other school I have worked
at. As Principal, I continue to enjoy the daily interaction with students,
staff and the wider community.
The school is making very good progress. It was extremely
pleasing to have the progress achieved validated in what is a very
complimentary ERO report. The tenor of the ERO report is of a
school in very good heart and with a clear focus on continual
improvement. As a school, we should celebrate this affirmation but
must ensure that we use it as further motivation to build again on the
successes achieved.
The following are comments taken directly from our ERO report:
“Continuing property development and good financial management have improved teaching facilities, learning resources and the
school environment. These developments have been accompanied
by considerable progress in enhancing the quality of teaching and
learning in the school.”
“Improvements in teaching practice have been accompanied by
overall gains in student achievement. Data on student achievement
in Years 11, 12 and 13 show overall increases in pass rates in the
National Certificates of Educational Achievement (NCEA) since the
2007 ERO review. Progress towards meeting the school’s target for
all students to achieve an NCEA Level 2 qualification before completing their schooling is well underway, with over 90% of students now
achieving to this standard.”
“A further characteristic of the college is its welcoming and inclusive environment. Relationships between students and teachers, and
amongst students, are friendly and respectful. The school’s values
and mission statement, advocating concepts such as personal excellence, tolerance, self-discipline, and honesty, are actively promoted.
Students appreciate the efforts of their teachers and are especially
affirming of the increasing number of co-curricular opportunities
available to extend their academic, sporting, cultural and artistic interests and abilities.”
The full ERO report is available at www.ero.govt.nz.
It is important that we continue to build on the upward trend of
success achieved in NCEA Levels 1, 2 and 3. In 2009 72% of students achieved Level 1. This was the second year in a row that the
school has achieved personal bests at this level. The pursuit of academic potential, which in reality means the attainment of the highest
exit qualification students are capable of, remains the primary focus
in our school. 92% of students achieved NCEA Level 2 as their
minimum qualification.
The school’s performance at Merit and Excellence levels both in
the internal and external assessments across all three levels of NCEA
is something we can again celebrate.
This development is the result of the ongoing commitment and
efforts of the staff to ensure that they also live the school motto
‘Tohea’ – to strive for personal excellence. The staff, both teaching
2
and non-teaching and the commitment they display to create a positive learning environment is critical. Teachers are what makes the
difference in the daily lives of students and it is very encouraging that
we attract well motivated teachers who not only choose education as
their preferred vocation but also choose Rutherford College as their
school of choice.
There has been further success of improving the quantity and quality of co-curricular activities in 2010. The quality of what is offered, the
expectations on performance and commitment required to be successful have taken a sizeable step up the ladder of success. This is
again largely due to the commitment and willingness of staff to continue to go the extra mile. The increased involvement of staff outside
the classroom has definitely impacted on the success of students
inside the classroom. Students want to be involved and strive for
improvements when motivated and inspired by knowledgeable and
enthusiastic coaches and managers.
The successful completion of the refurbishment of B Block and
the improvement this has provided to both the aesthetic image at
the front of the school and to how we deliver the English curriculum
is significant. The focus now switches to C Block and the process
of ensuring that during 2011 we achieve the same outcome for the
Mathematics and Languages departments. We can look forward to C
Block being operational for the start of 2012.
My personal thanks to all members of the Board of Trustees and in
particular to those members whose final term ended in April. To Mike
Jolley, for 9 years and a significant time as Chairman, Lois Tolley, 9
years, Paul Brinkman 6 years and outgoing deputy chair, and David
Tribe 3 years; my thanks and also the appreciation of the schools
wider community who you have served so well. Your contribution has
helped create the momentum we are experiencing. The new Board, a
mixture of returning Board members and three new to the experience
at Rutherford have begun strongly and have already demonstrated
the necessary vision and common sense.
I would like to wish all the students, staff and people connected
with Rutherford College an enjoyable and safe Christmas holiday
break. To all students moving on, I wish you well and ask that you
stay connected with your school.
2011 is Rutherford College’s 50th jubilee and the celebration of this
will take place over the weekend of March 25th.

hold your foot long enough to enable you to put the other

And your better is your best
Head Girl Michele Lee
Head Boy Caleb Van Beynen
Leavers hoodies, prize giving, end-of-year school magazine – it’s difficult when you realise your time at high school and your 13 years of
schooling is coming to an end. 2010 will be a year remembered for
the craziness of Lady Gaga, the meteoric rise of Justin Bieber and
the All Whites’ undefeated run at the World Cup; but for me, 2010 will
be a year remembered for all the good times I’ve had during my final
year at Rutherford College.
As the 2010 Rutherford Head Girl I’ve truly pushed myself, and
the 2010 Rutherford Prefect Group has done the same. It’s been
a privilege to be part of a great team – raising thousands of dollars
for charities, baking a massive cake to celebrate Rutherford Week,
dancing and singing in public (part entertainment, part humiliation),
and most importantly, strengthening Rutherford pride.
It is so rewarding, as a leader, to have students looking up to you,
thanking you for the work you’ve done, and while it’s been a very
busy year, I’ve enjoyed all the challenges that being a Prefect and
being Head Girl have brought. I’ve not only worked into the early
hours of the morning and closely with a group of senior students and
staff, but I’ve also gotten to know many junior students. I will never
forget the first time a year nine student said, “Hi, Head Girl.” It was
truly humbling – and definitely put a big smile of my face – those are
the rewarding moments we should work for.
Unfortunately, we do not fully appreciate all the ‘goodness’ right
in front of us until we near the end. Yes, high school can be a very
difficult time – dealing with those crazy teenage hormones, those
horrible break-outs, those nagging adults – but high school can
indeed be the most fun and exciting time of your life. You just need to
put in the effort – get involved and work hard!
Rutherford has some of the most talented students and staff, and
a great sense of community and family which is what makes us so
special. Working with a team of fun, dedicated and inspiring head
students (thank you, Caleb, Helena, James, Lloyd and Steph), a
team of energetic prefects, the powers of the top corridor (thank you
Mr Moore, Ms Farrar, Ms Cumming and Mr Wills) and the family of
Rutherford staff and students (thank you all), I’ve come to really value
the Rutherford family. I hope everyone can find this appreciation and
pride in their school.
Now that the end of high school has come extremely quickly, while
it is exciting to know I have university and the adult world to look forward to, it is very sad knowing that my time at Rutherford College
as a student, as a prefect and as the 2010 Head Girl has come to
an end. As hard as it can be – enjoy high school! Make your mark at
Rutherford College and be proud to say you are a Rutherfordian.
Make the memories that you will laugh and cry about in 20 years’
time. I know I have.
What a journey the last 5 years have been. From starting off as a
small, shy and unsure junior student in 2006 to having the honour of
taking up the role of Head Boy of Rutherford College in 2010.
Being Head Boy has been a position which I have aspired towards
for a very long time. Rutherford has given so much to me personally and I felt it necessary to give back to the school. Although it has
been hard work at times this year, I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenges and achievements that have arisen from the position. I have
been pushed out of my comfort zone and done some things which
I never would have dreamt of, such as dancing to “Single Ladies” at
“Rutherford X-Factor”. So many memories have been created over
the past year which I’m sure I will value for the rest of my life.
Personal highlights from the year include the introduction of
Rutherford Week (where the prefects built a massive cake to give for
free to students) and the Silent party (where students danced to their
own music on iPods).
Although I have had the privilege of having the title of Head Boy
this year, much credit must be given to the 23 fellow prefects I have
worked with this year. We have achieved our aims to give back to our
school community and to further advance school pride and spirit. I
find it amazing how committed and talented a group of students can
be; from attending meetings every Monday to producing effective
advertising videos. I must thank the 2010 prefect group for all of their
hard work this year.
I must also thank Mr. Moore and Ms. Farrar for giving me the
opportunity to be Rutherford’s Head Boy for 2010. Although I will be
sad to leave, I know it is time to go. I look forward to a whole new set
of challenges as a University student in the coming years and I am
sure that my time at Rutherford will have taught me the essential skills
to be successful in further education. I also wish the prefects for 2011
the best of luck. I am sure that you will have as good a year as I have
had this year. I would like to leave you with a quote which has served
as the foundation for my year. “Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does”
Best wishes

Deputy Head Boy James Kim
Deputy Head Girl Helena Lau
Deputy Head Boy Lloyd Thomason
Deputy Head Girl Stephanie Bidois
This year being a Deputy Head Boy was busy and hard but it has
also been fun and exciting; it has changed and developed me into a
better person and it has been an honour to work beside an incredible group of prefects, especially the Head Students, who have been
a superb team. We have bonded as good friends as well as a good
team, and I want to thank them for all their support.
It has been a long journey at Rutherford College, and it has been
an amazing journey. I will leave with so many memories. The memory
I will never forget is this guy sitting on me on Rutherford Day while
playing rugby, I remember him blocking the sun (yes the sun). He
SHATTERED my collar bone and this has been a new tradition for me
on Rutherford day and I will never forget this exciting event
Being a Deputy Head Boy meant that Rutherford college gave me
another chance to develop As a result, I have became more mature,
responsible and learnt more about leadership and public speaking.
To all the students at Rutherford College, I would like to say that
nothing is impossible and urge them to never give up. If you want to
achieve something really bad, just go for it, never give up and hold
on to that goal, dream and never let go – there is no such thing as
impossible. Do not fear failing; when you fall, get up and keep on
trying over and over again. If you love something, give it everything
you’ve got even though the chance of reaching it is 1 %; you never
know if you are in that 1%.
Finally, I want to thank all the teachers, family and friends that have
supported me through my journey at school.
High school isn’t easy, but the things that are the hardest to overcome are always the most satisfying. It is this time where the most
change occurs. We are always reinventing who we are, discovering our passions and exploring our personalities. Embrace these
changes because they are inevitable. Besides, it is change that
brings excitement into our lives – corny, but it’s the absolute truth.
Many people who know me and my journey through Rutherford
will know I have been thrown some of the fastest and most crooked
curve balls along the way. However, I am entirely delighted to look
back on the past 5 years to acknowledge how privileged and fulfilled
these years have been.
Too many times I see kids unsuccessfully trying to ‘fit in’, when in
reality, we were all born to stand out. Being appointed Deputy Head
Girl was an affirmation of this. As a Head Student you must be a
leader. It’s about the caring of other people, our school and upholding the Rutherford pride. My goal has been to leave an everlasting
and positive impression on our school and peers.
I am immensely proud of what the Head Students and prefects
of 2010 have achieved this year. From baking our enormous free
cake to our infamous “Single Ladies” dance, I am confident that
Rutherford has had the coolest and most fun prefects ever. We leave
behind an imprint and a legacy that we hope will only be strengthened for the many years to come. Good luck!
The advice I would like to leave with you is that you should never
isolate yourself from opportunities. Make friends with as many people
as you can, life’s too short to hate. Work on the relationships you will
gain from, like your family, teachers and close friends. Give your time
and effort to the school that is helping you grow into a valued young
person. I am a firm believer of the saying “give and you shall receive”.
Last but not least, respect yourself. It is essential to recognise your
own self worth. Constantly re-evaluate how you can improve yourself
and never cease to try shine that little bit more.
Thank you, to my amazing family, friends, teachers and lovely
dean, Ms Cumming. We wouldn’t get anywhere in life without the
support and education that we are so blessed to have in our lives.
With love,
Helena.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at Rutherford and 2010 was a great
year for me. Being part of such a great team of amazing multi-talented prefects has been a great experience. The prefects as a group
definitely achieved their aims through the organisation of various
events, fundraisers and performances. It has been a great privilege to have this position since it has definitely challenged me and
helped me grow as a person. The Year 13 student body really pulled
together this year as a family, no longer were we divided by silly
groups and areas and there was a lot of respect for the prefects and
their work from the entire student body, which was fantastic.
Rutherford College is school with a unique and amazing sense
of pride. It’s that tingly feeling you get when a nervous performer
sings their first note and everyone gets up and cheers; nothing can
describe it. From all the performances I was involved in I learnt an
important lesson: that a small act of kindness can make a massive
difference in someone’s life. To all of those who gave me words of
encouragement or appreciation after a performance I am eternally
grateful. The words stuck with me, inspired me and kept me going.
I, therefore, felt I had to give back. I attended many performances,
watched the Year 9s and people new to performing and approached
them. I hope my supportive words have had as much of an impact
on you, talented performers, as it had on me in Year nine.
It is with great sadness I leave this school because Rutherford to
me is much more than a school. I’m going to miss all of my hardworking teachers, friends and Rutherford traditions. In saying that,
my position as Deputy Head Boy and the school itself have definitely
prepared me for the next stage in my life. Thank you to everyone who
has helped me during my five years at this wonderful school.
What an amazing rollercoaster of a ride these past five years have
been. Rutherford has offered me opportunities, encouragement and
unbelievable support that has helped shape me to the person I am
today, and for this I am truly grateful.
Looking back on this final year at Rutherford as Deputy Head Girl,
I really can’t believe I’ve made it out alive. Late nights/early mornings
doing assessments, learning prefect dances, organizing events - it’s
been so hectic! But in the same breath it has been extremely rewarding. Sitting here writing this I still can’t believe that my schooling life
has nearly come to an end. I’m saddened by the thought of leaving
Rutherford but also totally prepared and excited for the new chapter
of my life. I can tell you that when I walked through those Rutherford
gates five years ago, I was a completely different person to who I am
today. I’m proud to say that I have come from Rutherford College and
had the privilege of being your Deputy Head Girl.
The people I have met, the friendships I have made, and the
amazing, crazy Rutherford memories will stay with me until I’m old
and grey.
To all those left behind I leave you with a wise ‘daily bulletin’ growing point: “Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose
to liberate your future.”
You all have the power to change the path you’re on, and it’s never
too late to step up to your true potential.
“Do not fear failing;
when you fall, get up
and keep on trying over
and over again.”

Rutherford Support in the Community
If you’re wondering why this year was so magical, it was because of those hard-working, blazer-wearing and mostly
good-looking 2010 Rutherford Prefects.
The 2010 Rutherford Prefects have worked hard to continue Rutherford College’s long
tradition of supporting charities.
After an intense week of planning at the Te Atatu Boat Club, delicious
Subway lunches and inspiration from our newly appointed Associate
Principal Ms Farrar, we were ready for action.
With the strong leadership of the prefect group, from day one, we
moved towards achieving our strategic objectives with great momentum. We made the most of the many talents within the group from
techno-geeks to design-fanatics.
Our first act of awesomeness was spreading the love towards the
many Rutherford love birds at the Annual Swimming Sports Day.
Deputy Head Boy, James, paraded the school in a hot pink number
selling roses and heart-shaped candies to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
With the many entrepreneurs within our group, $700 was raised
from the Valentine’s Day packs and also by selling ice blocks on a
very hot Athletics Day. This money would go on to fund the prizes for
the many planned prefect-run events.
To showcase the many talents of the Rutherford students, the
prefects decided to organise the Rutherford X-Factor Talent Show.
This also gave the prefects the opportunity to show-off their Beyonce
moves – or lack of. This was the much improved second instalment
to the farewell performance for Mrs Shaw where we transformed
from Susan Boyle to The Pussycat Dolls and Madonna.
But wait, there’s more – we didn’t stop there. We know how brilliant Rutherford Day is, so we thought we’d make it a week-long
The Chilean Earthquake in February 2010 killed hundreds and left
many more with the devastating physical and emotional damage
caused by this very powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake.
With Chilean International Students at our school during this time,
who had family in the earthquake-hit areas, it was natural that in true
Rutherford spirit we wanted to provide support for those affected by
the earthquake.
A Mufti Day was held as well as the inaugural Silent Party which
saw students dancing to their own music with their own earphones
in. It was definitely interesting seeing students dancing around to
‘no’ music.
In total $1200 was raised and this money was donated to The New
Zealand Red Cross Chilean Appeal.
Friday 27th August 2010 was Daffodil Day and as usual, Daffodils
were sold to raise money for The New Zealand Cancer Society.
However, this year, it was decided that a bigger effort would be
made to raise more money.
The Rutherford X-Factor was organised showcasing the many
talented students at Rutherford. It was a very successful event with
$500 raised. The Annual Slave Auction exceeded all expectations
and raised an amazing $600. The much anticipated termly Mufti Day
and Daffodil sales combined to raise $1200.
On Tuesday 7th September, another large cheque was presented.
celebration. This resulted in the inaugural Rutherford Week. With the
slave auction, Guitar Hero, guest speaker Steve Price on Rutherford
Day and the spectacularly big, two tiered chocolate cake, Rutherford
Week was a huge success.
Rutherford’s tradition of helping those in need was continued with
the prefects various fundraising initiatives for The Red Cross Chilean
Earthquake Appeal, The New Zealand Cancer Society and The Red
Cross Christchurch Earthquake Appeal. Over $4000 was raised for
these very worthy causes.
Of course, Rutherford students were always well informed of the
prefect-run events with the Rutherford Prefects Facebook page, the
creative assembly presentations and attractive notice board.
While it’s been a very busy and productive year for the prefect
group, it’s been a very rewarding journey. We have achieved our
objectives of promoting Rutherford spirit and pride, and within ourselves grown as leaders. We are so grateful for the hard work that Ms
Farrar, Ms Cumming and Mr Moore have put into the prefect group.
They have provided us with immense support and guidance.
Thank you, Rutherford for a great year. We wish the 2011
Rutherford Prefects the best as they work to continue the momentum and leave their own footprints in the sand.
“We will move on knowing our golden days were spent here.”

$2400 was donated to The New Zealand Cancer Society and this
money will be put towards cancer research, treatment and support
for cancer patients.
It is so important to give back and help others, and in true
Rutherford fashion, the Rutherford family always comes together to
support those in need. Thank you to everyone for your continued
support of prefect-run events and for your many generous donations. It is greatly appreciated.

Rutherford Day
by Michele Lee
The inaugural Rutherford Week was a week filled with fun and exciting activities, from the Slave Auction to free chocolate cake. However, it was Rutherford Day, which was the much anticipated finale to a week of celebration.
The 2010 Rutherford Prefects decided to extend the celebrations of
Rutherford Day and planned a week full of activities, with the annual
Rutherford Day bringing the exciting week to an end.
Monday 23rd August, the first day of
celebrations, gave Rutherford’s budding
guitarists the opportunity to show off their
Guitar Hero skills.
Tuesday 24th was a little different, with the
hall filling up with eager ‘gamblers’ ready to
purchase slaves. The annual Slave Auction
is a much anticipated event and the 2010
Prefects continued on with this tradition.
The prefects also decided to continue their
fundraising campaign for The New Zealand
Cancer Society by donating all proceeds
from the Slave Auction to this very worthy
cause. It was also very fitting that Rutherford
Day fell on Daffodil Day.
The Slave Auction was a huge success
with over $600 raised and the highest bid of
$100 for Peter Huang. While there was a lot
of fun had during the lunchtime auction, the
real fun was during Thursday morning tea
and lunchtime when the owners had use of
their slaves.
14
At morning tea on Thursday, all the slaves
lined up with rubbish bags on, ready for their
owners. Mr B. White was treated ‘nicely’ by
his owners (teachers including Ms Shaw, Ms
T and Mr Raine), wearing a netball uniform
and walking around the school picking up
rubbish. Mr Paterson was lucky enough to
have his year 12 PE class purchase him – to
say the least, they made use of their very
own slave teacher.
While slaves were being used at lunchtime, 800 pieces of free cake were being
served in the hall. A very ambitious group
of prefects, students from tutor group BL
and teachers, baked 49 individual cakes to
form a 2 tiered cake; bottom tier measuring
2.3 metres by 1.14 metres and the top tier
measuring 1.4 metres by 0.74 metres. It was
a very, very, VERY BIG cake.
As the Rutherford family gathered in the
hall, Mr Moore cut the Rutherford Cake
which the prefects hope will be the start of a
new Rutherford College tradition.
The Rutherford Week events were definitely fun and exciting. However, they were
all only leading up to the very special 48th
Annual Rutherford Day. This year, legendary
rugby league player Steve Price joined us in
celebrating Rutherford Day as our special
guest speaker. Mr Price presented a very
entertaining and thought-provoking speech,
emphasising the importance in continually
making improvements to ensure our
value and Rutherford College’s value is at
the highest.
Rutherford Day is a day for us to thank
those who continually support our school
and Rutherford Week only extends our
appreciation to celebration of being part of
the Rutherford family. Indeed Rutherford
Week was a huge success, showing
immense school pride.
Rutherford College
50th
Reunion
The Rutherford Day processions began
with musical performances by very talented
Rutherford students, entertaining the
audience and providing a warm welcome to
our guests.
Mr Moore spoke on behalf of the
Rutherford family when he thanked the
community for their “continued support,
involvement and contribution to our school”.
He described the support of the BOT, staff,
students and whanau as the “wonderful
heartbeat and pulse that is the strength of
our school”. It is this feeling of whanau which
makes Rutherford College so special.
Mr Moore took the opportunity to remind
everyone that “…we are what we repeatedly
do. Excellence is not an act but a habit. It is
the little things done well and done often that
make the difference”.
Drawing inspiration from a number of
influential people including Willie Apiata, J K
Rowling, Sir Winston Churchill and Sir Ernest
Rutherford, Mr Moore urged students to put
in “continuous effort” in order to “achieve
personal excellence”. It is Rutherford’s motto
“to strive for personal excellence” which
drives students and staff to succeed.
Following Mr Moore’s address, the
Rutherford Choir and Prefect Group
performed The Rutherford Way with great
pride and Rutherford Spirit.
Head Boy Caleb van Beynen then had
the pleasure of introducing the 2010 guest
speaker. We were honoured to have legendary rugby league player, Steve Price,
join us in celebrating the 48th Annual
Rutherford Day.
Steve Price, an Australian, has become
an honorary Kiwi and Mr Moore announced
that “…today, you also become an honorary Rutherfordian”. He has not only gained
respect in the rugby league world, playing
313 NRL matches but he has gained the
respect of many New Zealanders, captaining
the New Zealand Warriors to much success.
Though now retired, Steve Price continues
to inspire others off the rugby field. He spoke
about the ‘brand’ that we each have. How
are you perceived by others and are you
someone that people want to be around?
He emphasised the importance of ensuring your value is consistently at the highest
and that Rutherford College’s value is consistently at the highest. There is always
something we can do better; we can continually make improvements in order to move
forward and increase our value. That was the
challenge put out to everyone by Steve Price.
Not only was he inspirational, but highly
entertaining as well. There were three important lessons to be learnt from his address.
1) Do your dishes.
2) Give firm handshakes.
3) Happy wife = Happy life.
Steve Price is a very wise man.
In true Rutherford fashion, Steve Price was
thanked with a roaring round of applause;
his messages were well received by the
Rutherford students, staff and guests.
Head Girl Michele Lee thanked Steve
Price for his entertaining address, valuable
messages and for the time he took to join
the 48th Annual Rutherford Day celebrations. Michele then introduced a dance and
opera performance, with the Choir and Te
Kotuku following with a performance of
Me Huihui.
Mrs Sprague brought the formalities to
an end with an emotional address as she
described the immense pride she had of
the Rutherford family as they showed true
Rutherford pride and spirit on such a special
occasion. Rutherford talent was again showcased as a musical performance led the
procession out and brought to an end the
48th Annual Rutherford Day.

T H E 48T H A N N UA L RU T H ER FO R D DAY
RU T H ER FO R D W E EK
Rutherford Week
On the morning of 2nd August 2010,
I took a long, hot shower - unknowing that it would be my last real one
for the next ten days. I heaped on
the warm clothes after seeing grey
mist outside my window. It was a
pre-warning that I would need all the
woollies I could get. Whilst making
my way to Princes Wharf to board
the Spirit of New Zealand voyage
584, I was a little anxious, but after
my quick stop-by at Rutherford
College I felt a little more excited
again – my assignments for the time
being were completed and I didn’t
have to worry about schoolwork for
ten days more!
On the 23rd of May I boarded the Spirit of New Zealand along with 39 other teenagers and 9 crew members. We set
off on what turned out to be 10 of the best days in 2010. As we sailed out into the Hauraki Golf the fun started.
We were divided up into four ‘watches’.
Port A, Port B, Starboard A, Starboard B.
This was to man the four sailing stations
onboard - Foredeck, Midship, main sail and
Mizzen. We rotated duties daily. Midships
had the additional role of being ‘night watch’
and Mizzen were known as ‘specials, who
helped out in the kitchen.
The average day started off with the ship’s
generator kicking in at 6.30am, waking the
49 people on board and getting everyone
up on deck. The deck was often wet, cold
and dark. However, this thought was quickly
removed from our minds when we hit the
16
water after a dive from the side of the ship.
The morning swim was a 20m splash and
dash to the other end of the ship where you
raced up the ladder and back down to the
accommodation. The rest of the early morning programme included breakfast, colours
(notices for the day and raising of the flag)
and cleaning. After this, it was to sail stations
where the day’s sailing would kick off. During
the day we would compete in deck games,
use the yard swing or paddle ashore for a
bush walk in the hills of Great Barrier Island.
In addition to travelling to Great Barrier
Island, we also sailed to remote parts of
Kawau Bay, Waiheke and Coromandel. The
advantage of sailing rather than driving is
that we could anchor in any small bay each
night. Some of the bays that we settled on
in the evenings were so remote you felt like
you were the only form of human life for
miles! After we settled in a spot for the night
we would have dinner and dessert. Then
our evening activity would bring a close to a
thrilling and tiring day.
Whilst on Great Barrier Island we used the
small sailing boats in our watches, competed
in paddling races and walked up to the Kauri
Dams in the hills.
My favourite experiences on the trip
included climbing to the top of the mast,
putting the sails away up on the yards at
the end of each day, sitting on the netted bowsprit whilst pods of dolphins swam
beneath us, and making 48 friends that will
stay with me for a long time. Although these
were amazing times that we experienced,
the best part of the trip was one night where
we paddled ashore in complete darkness to
a small bay. We lit a bonfire and had dinner
around it. This was the night where we all
felt part of the family that had been created
by the ‘Spirit’. Paddling back to the boat in
a Harry Potter-like scenario, we all realised
how much the 10 days had meant to us.
I would like to thank Mrs Reid and the
Waitakere Licensing Trust for giving me the
opportunity to embark on the Spirit of New
Zealand. If you ever get the chance to go on
the Spirit of New Zealand, I would highly recommend it! The chance to meet 39
other teenagers the same age and learn
how to run a sailing ship doesn’t come
around often!
When I arrived at the Wharf, I soon learned
that there was not a lot of space on this boat
to be shared between the 39 other trainees of my age, as well as the 13 adults who
made up the crew. However, despite having a drawer not much bigger than 50cm³
to store my entire luggage, a tarpaulin bunk
for a bed, no head-room, and a single-room
cabin to be shared with 20 other girls, I loved
knowing there would be a person to talk to in
every corner I turned. The people that I met
on the boat were amazing, and I learnt so
many new things. Throughout the voyage I
gained knowledge of sailing, heard countless nature facts, found the importance of
being tidy (especially whilst confined to small
spaces), and was cultured about the vast
differences in lifestyles we all had – even
though we were all from New Zealand. For
example, we put my comfortable townie-life
in contrast to a fellow trainee’s who lives on a
2000 acre plot of farmland!
I also picked up many priceless lifeprogressing lessons. My most valuable
self-learned morals on the Spirit were to do
with understanding what makes good leadership, infectiousness of positive attitudes,
the heights you can achieve with everyone
cooperating as a team, and how to treat new
people when you have no clue about their
personal background or abilities.
I made so many friends through my voyage, and even though we spent only 10
days together, we all still keep close contact with each other like we’ve been friends
for years. The Spirit of New Zealand gives
such wonderful opportunities to experience
amazing things and to meet brilliant people
who could just become your friends for life. If
you are ever given the opportunity to go on a
voyage, I strongly recommend that you jump
to it! I promise you won’t regret it:
wet clothes, sea-sickness, compulsory
dawn-swims and all – it just makes it that bit
more memorable.
I’d like to thank Mrs Reid for offering this
opportunity to me, and also the Waitakere
Licensing Trust for giving funding to local
schools every year – so that students like
me can experience this once-in-a-lifetime,
character-building adventure. I will never forget my voyage on The Spirit of New Zealand,
the things I learned on that ship I will value
for life.
Rutherford’s Very Own Planeteers
On June 17, ten senior students went to Zeal: Global Café, to take part in the West Auckland Enviro Challenge.
To prepare for the event the students
gathered information about our school’s
waste, recycling, electricity and fuel consumption. Using the information they
found, they then had to choose an environmental issue at Rutherford. Our group
chose to address littering, which was
largely your plastic food wrappers. Both
a video and poster was created with the
slogan “Don’t be a litter critter” (and we
mean it) which was then presented and
judged on the day. Alongside this, our
team presented our general findings, took
part in a quiz, debated the pros and cons
of the emissions trading scheme and
wowed the audience with a Lady Gaga
parody about picking up litter.
We must have done something right
because Rutherford was awarded first
place for the third year running and
since the competitions creation. Pang

Henare and Shameela represented Ashraf Choudhary. They enjoyed
the opportunity to bring youth ideas to the real parliamentarians and
understand what politics and life in the Beehive is like. This was a
great opportunity as well, so year 9 and 10 students need to look out
for the next one in 3 years time!
Part of what has made TDI so special is the family-like bonds formed
in the group; brothers, sisters, mothers and that cousin who comes
over and eats all your food. Considering that the first group of students to go through the program beginning to end and its founder all
left last year, the group’s dynamics were up in the year. Fortunately
for all involved, three days at Waiwera’s YMCA camp grounds did
the trick.
The usual suspects such as orienteering, rock climbing and raft
building combined with evenings on waterslides and in the pools
playing Keep Away with Water Monsters created a fantastic environment for some group bonding. Skills like knot tying and “bomb
disarming” were revelled by the group as well as some excellent
knowledge and logic. For example, you put bread in a toaster, and
putting all of the tyre inners on your raft will only weigh it down.
Sunburns aside, the camp was fantastic and promised a good year
ahead. The student group would like to thank all involved for their
time and efforts, especially Miss Butler-Shaw for the brilliant privilege.

Kaleidoscope students have been busy this year. Their programme of learning is designed to push their brains in
strange and complex directions: English asks them ‘What makes a monster?’ and expects a researched and thorough response, Maths engages them in tessellations and explorations of famed arithmeticians, Science gets them
analysing water samples from the Pixie Stream, Social Studies has them unravelling the intricacies of the Russian
Revolution, and in PE they’ve juggled and been thrown into Grid Iron.
On Saturday 17th April, the Rutherford Robotics Team, The Atomic Kiwis, boarded the plane taking them to
Dallas, Texas, to compete in the 2010 VEX World Robotics Championships. David Graham, Caleb van Beynen,
Jordan King, Michele Lee, Rikki-Leigh McIntyre, Tania Frost, Mr Thompson (coach) and Mrs Taylor (manager)
were ready to take on The USA.

Before the school year had even officially started, our schools front gate was littered. But not with chippie packets or
crushed cans, instead bags, chilly bins and the odd guitar case were scattered over the ground. This year’s TDI
students had gathered to go on camp.
Kaleidoscope 2010: Rising to the Challenge
Rutherford Robotics compete at the VEX World Championships in Dallas, USA
They joined the New Zealand team of 100 ‘Kiwibots’ who were
planning to topple the dominant and experienced American
teams. The New Zealand teams embraced the mantra of “gracious professionalism” as they competed with the 400 teams that
were present.
Hours of hard work and weeks of staying at school till 7 pm
paid off as The Atomic Kiwis advanced to the quarter-finals of
their division, having taken on teams from Colombia, Brazil, China
and America. It was a steep learning curve as some alliance
teams had very little English and communication was through
diagrams and interesting sign language to establish strategies
to win.
The Atomic Kiwis finished in the top 96 teams and were part
of a very successful New Zealand contingent. Two New Zealand
teams from Kristin College and Albany Homeschool formed an
alliance with a Chinese team winning the 2010 World Robotics
Championships; an amazing accomplishment putting New
Zealand on the world stage.
It was a full-on two weeks for the team, with early mornings,
late nights and losing days through time zones. However, adrenalin and excitement is what kept them going with intense robotics
matches and plenty of sightseeing during their time in the States.
It was a great opportunity to network with the best and brightest
technology students in the world and to explore the USA.
The team enjoyed trips to:
• California Adventure Park & Disneyland
(an amazing 15 hours spent here!)
• Hollywood Walk of Fame
• The “Grassy Knoll” where President
John F. Kennedy was assassinated
• The Rainforest and Underwater World at the Dallas Aquarium
by Amanda-Jane Hyde
• The Dallas Hard Rock Café
• The “Cowboy Experience” & Stockyard Maze at Fortworth
• All-You-Can-Eat-Spareribs at Fort Worth
• Competing at the Dallas Convention Centre
It has all had a goal: to provide rigour and to pique the curiosity of
students who are academically able. And the students are rising to
the challenge.
Year 10 Kaleidoscope students scooped prestigious awards at the
Auckland Museum’s ‘I Am Making Movies’ competition. They took
out prizes for Best Documentary, Best Creative Storytelling, Best
Production and the Supreme Overall Prize, winning digital cameras
and a digital video camera for the school, as well as i-Tune vouchers for themselves. The students’ movies were part of their English
programme and created over a 5 week period in accordance with a
strict set of guidelines set by the Museum. Creativity and technology
collided in this noisy and full-on experience.
Further challenge came in Term 3 with the four-day Intensive. The
top Year 9 and 10 classes experienced a collapsed timetable and
the opportunity to explore an area of interest connected to the Te
Atatu Peninsula community. Students embraced the experiment
and took on topics such as: A photographic journal of the Peninsula,
Revamping the Peninsula Shops, and Peninsula Sounds - A Music
Video. The resulting products were showcased for parents and top
projects rewarded.
Term 4 saw the arrival of the ‘Gifted Kids’ Survival Guide’ – a new
text aimed at supporting top students by helping them work through
the complexities that come with their giftedness. Kaleidoscope students have also benefitted from assemblies geared specifically to
celebrate their successes and acknowledging their uniqueness.
It’s been a busy and successful year in Kaleidoscope as we’ve
risen to the challenge of living out our motto: Think. Innovate. Lead.
PSSP
The UN Conference group flew to Wellington very early on the morning after the school ball, with several of them looking very tired! We
stayed in the Wellington Backpackers, which was a very basic venue
with rooms reminiscent of a prison. The common areas were good,
though and we didn’t spend much time there.
Each student represented a country and had to argue that position
in a series of debates and committees. Daniel enjoyed attempting to
defend Trinidad and Tobago’s rather un-PC migration policy, while
Cameron spent most of his time explaining where Comoros actually
was on the planet, and creating alliances. Sam wondered whether
Afghanistan really cared about deforestation, and Brendon spent
most of his time recovering from the ball! Jonny decided that buying a Bob Marley CD would help him get in touch with his country,
Tanzania. A highlight of the conference was the ball at the Duxton
hotel (yes, a second ball in 4 days for some) where a Congolese
drummer named Sam got everyone present up on the dance floor,
which literally jumped due an interesting sprung design. This was
quite scary as we thought we might go through the floor!
The last day of debate was held at the historic Town Hall and many
great resolutions for saving the planet and its people were passed.
We were tired and ready to head home after 4 action-packed days,
but sadly had to wait for 5 hours at the airport while our plane was
repaired. This conference is a fantastic opportunity for young people
to learn, debate and have fun with new friends, so lots of you should
take up the opportunity next year!
Youth Parliament is held every 3 years, with each MP selecting
a youth representative. From Rutherford, Javier represented Tau

Peer Sexuality Support Programme
This year, as Peer Sexuality Support People, our aim was to inform the school as much as possible
about who we were and what we intended to do.
PSSP is a programme designed to teach selected youths within
a school the key and important facts they need to know about
sexual health and sexual issues.
Selected students (chosen by the schools Guidance
Counsellors) attended a three and a half day camp or Hui. At
this Hui selected students from a variety of schools got together
and were taught the values of being a PSSPerson. Things
covered at the Hui were: Sexual Wellbeing, Communication
skills, Sexuality and Decision Making, Contraception, Sexually
Transmitted Infections, Relationships, Teen Pregnancy, Gender,
Sexual Contraception, Sexual Abuse and Dealing with Serious
Disclosures and Affirming Diversity.
Rutherford College’s PSSP team for 2010 was:
• Melissa Howard
• Cam Smith
• Amanda-Jane Hyde
• Helena Lau
• Stephanie Bidois

STARS
The bad weather could have been an ominous sign for the start of STARS Camp 2010, but even the rain did nothing
to suppress the enjoyment and antics that the Year 9’s, their senior peer mentors and even the teachers got out of
their three days at Camp Adair in the Hunua Ranges earlier in term two.
Over the three days students were exposed
to a variety of activities, from the “super fox”
to the “pamper pole” (which had nothing to
do with any type of pampering). Every activity was designed to improve team work and
increase the unity in each tutor class.
The camp activities managed to push many
of the students to face their fears,
allowing them to feel the pleasure that came
with completion.
Peer mentors also got pleasure from the
camp. One of the Year 13 mentors, Jessica
Siu (mentor for 9OL), said, “Camp allowed us
to create bonds with the juniors.” This was a
belief mirrored by many other mentors.
Both camps had an incredible amount
of laughs, including the second week seeing Mr Coombes and Mr Smith team up to
take on the other teachers and give them
what could only be called a mud bath before
Mr Coombes got showered in a mixture of
breakfast products.
Overall, camp was an overwhelming success for all those involved.
Year 11 field trips this year involved volcanoes and milk. A tiki tour around the
volcanoes of Auckland gave us good insights into the fiery birth of our city
and it was a relief to find out that most of Auckland’s 49 volcanoes only erupt
once; on the other hand, we may be overdue for another one, possibly near
Rangi. The farm field trip was also an eye opener to most of us who soon got
used to the smells and sights of mother nature at work. Milking is fun, even if
it has its not so clean green dangers.
Year 12 trips involved a walk in the bush - we now know the names of at least five native
trees- and a tour of Auckland’s residential areas, from the poshness of the North Shore to the
gentrified Ponsonby to the state houses of Otara and Manukau City - oops, I mean Manukau
Ward, now.
Year 13 trips are always longer - two days spent comparing the West and East coastbeach
processes at Muriwai and Omaha beach, and three days in Rotorua learning by doing about
tourism development processes. As always, a huge amount of fun mixed with applied learning - such is Geography. Thanks to everybody who made the trips so great.

Year 12 Outdoor Education camp this year saw 42 young and excited students venture out into the Hauraki Gulf for
three days on Motutapu and Rangitoto Islands. The Camp is the culmination of the course and with almost half the
credits available being assessed, everyone was both excited and anxious to get started.
With all the gear loaded, the two classes (Mr Paterson’s and Miss Henderson’s) travelled
to the Auckland ferry terminal where we were surprisingly met by DOC (the Department of
Conservation) who had randomly selected our group to have all of its gear inspected for
rodents using a sniffer dog as part of the pest eradication and bird sanctuary programme
on the Island. With the inspection behind us and a valuable presentation on bio-security and
the bird sanctuary programme, we caught the ferry to Mototapu where we dropped our gear
before back tracking to Rangitoto to the start of our tramp. The tramp took us up and over
Auckland’s most recent volcano (600 years old) and gave the students the opportunity for
some great views and a chance to explore the Lava caves which snake down the island. The
tramp finished at Home Bay on Motutapu Island which was to be our home for the next three
days. That evening the students cooked their dinner and then had the opportunity to go fishing off the wharf. While no monster size fish were caught, most students who were patient
and dedicated managed to pull in a fish or two. That night the rain came down and helped
emphasize the importance of erecting and sighting a tent with care.
The next day was to be even busier than the last. After a quick breakfast we walked to
MOEC (Mototapu Outdoor Education Centre) on the far side of the island. As soon as we
got there it was all hands on deck to get the Sail Boats, Wind Surfers, Waka-Ama and Rafts
ready. Once everyone had their wetsuits, it was a quick walk to Sandy Bay, the location of our
day’s activities on and in the water. The weather conditions were near perfect for learning, the
location even better and the students spent the entire day in the water rotating between the
activities and learning the new skills required of Wind Surfing, Sailing, Waka-Ama and Raft
building. A number of students showed good natural talent and luckily we were able to spend
plenty of time at each activity to really give everyone the chance to learn the basics and experience success. The return tramp that afternoon seemed to fly by and the concept of walking
everywhere seemed to be one that we were getting used to. That evening after dinner gave
us a chance for some more fishing and some sports on the beach. After dark Kate pulled out
her guitar and the evening was filled with singing, class competitions, riddles and games.
The final morning had us up early again
so no time was wasted. The pack up was
far more efficient and really highlighted the
improvements the group had made. The
improvement in basic camping skills such
and working with tents, outdoor cooking,
dressing appropriately for the conditions
and using teamwork to complete tasks
was evident. The group then split into the
two classes and took some time to reflect
upon their experiences and what they had
learnt. This time was extremely valuable and
showed how far we had come as a group
and how special the experience had been
for us all. The final challenge was the walk
back to Islington Bay wharf for the final ferry
ride home.
Well done to all the students who
attended. For those who are now looking
forward to Year 13 Outdoor Education, the
challenge will be to build on the skills and
knowledge gained this year and take on
every new experience.

Get To Go Challenge
G E T TO G O C H A L L E N G E
by Mr Paterson
A team of 8 Year 9 and 10 students competed in the annual Get To Go
adventure sport competition early in term three.
We started with kayaking, which you would think easy enough until we saw that our 2 kayaks
were tied together with only one paddle, and the person with the paddle had a bucket on their
head! With only Peter getting really wet, we moved on to mountain biking, completing laps of
a circuit and tyre changes. The girls proved to be star tyre changers, while Thomas showed
his competitive spirit by falling off and bleeding everywhere. Twice.
Rock climbing was next on the list at Clip ‘N ‘Climb, which is an interesting place. We
gained points for each climb, with our whole team attempting each ascent.
Last on the list was orienteering, where the Rutherford team gained maximum points by
visiting every single control point, despite the efforts of earlier teams to move them! The
Rutherford team actually won on the day, but were ineligible to go to the grand final on Great
Barrier Island as we needed one more girl. This was still a great achievement that the students can be proud of, as well as a fun day out.

There had been a warning that a storm was due to hit Auckland for a few days. If the weather
forecast was to be relied upon, it was due to hit at the same time Year 12 Travel class had a field
trip to Auckland City to visit Queen’s Wharf (Shed 10), site of the Party Central for the Rugby
World Cup next year, and to climb the Harbour Bridge.
Well, the day dawned on Wednesday 4th August and we
were greeted by nature in all her fury – rain, more rain and to
top it off, the wind. We were, however, assured of a great time
by Mrs. Munro and we were not disappointed.
When we arrived at Queen’s Wharf (Shed 10) we could
22
have been forgiven for mistaking it for an oversized garden shed (Dad
would have been in heaven); we really needed to use our imagination
to see how this site, which is so entrenched in New Zealand’s history,
could become Party Central for the Rugby World Cup 2011.
The next stop was a quick trip around to the Hilton, home to one
of the fanciest hotels in Auckland. The pool was amazing and a stay
here would be a real treat. We were then left to our own devices to
buy lunch (where Nathaniel really enjoyed his sushi) before meeting
back at the bus for the highlight of the trip - THE BRIDGE CLIMB!
We all felt a little silly in the sexy jump suits and helmets but it was a
small price to pay for the opportunity to climb the Auckland Harbour
Bridge. It was a little scary climbing up the bridge, especially with the
slippery steps, cars rushing about below us and unbelievably strong
wind at the top (we were told over 80km/hr). What a rush when we
got up to the top, though. We were standing on the top of Auckland.
We should have been able to see a spectacular view but due to the
bad weather, the docks and the Chelsea Refinery were about the
extent of our sightseeing.
The guides were amazing and truly made the trip an unforgettable
experience. Not only did we have lots of fun but we also learnt a lot.
However, before we knew it, it was time to leave. I’m not going to forget this trip, we had am amazing time and now whenever I go over the
harbour bridge I can say I’ve climbed that Auckland landmark!

Victoria University Open Day
There’s nothing like starting a school day at
5 o’clock in the morning. My only compensation for hurrying to wake up at such an
early time was no school that day.
So while everyone was sleeping and then
later getting ready for Rutherford Day, I
was jetting off to Wellington. It was Victoria
University’s Open Day. I wanted to check out
the university that I was prepared to change
my comfortable life in Auckland for.
It was pretty hectic when we got there,
full of students from local schools and others from around the North Island. With a
courtyard full to the brim of people waiting and people handing out leaflets and
flyers, Mum and I wandered through the
University grounds completely lost.
While Mum latched onto a tour group
for parents, I finally found the teachers and stands for the subject
areas I was most interested in.
We attended a workshop and
Waikato University Open Day
by Reece Wilkinson 13JY
listened to past and present students talk
about my preferred subjects, Political
Science and International Relations.
We then checked out the accommodation options which had a range of self
catered or fully catered options, alcohol
free rooms and all female sections as
well as the standard full- on party rooms
that we hear so much about. With Mum
pacified over the alcohol free rooms and
myself pacified with the unlimited internet
access, we came to an agreement on the
best option for me.
All in all it was a fantastic day
and it really confirmed for me
that Victoria University will be
my University of choice for
next year. Now I just have to
pass my exams.
by Therese Malcon and Eliza Brunt-Tiueti
On the 30th April we went to The University of Waikato Open Day
in Hamilton. We left Auckland in the rain and arrived as the sun was
warming up Hamilton. The University had free buses running from
New Lynn that would take us to Waikato University and home.
We had already been given information about the mini lectures that
were being held throughout the day so when we arrived, we knew
where we wanted to go and which lectures we wanted to attend.
We followed the path into the University, which took us around the
lake and led us to where all the food shops and cafes were. There
was a wide range of food shops to choose from and they were right
by the lake, which meant that we could sit and have a break in the
sun and enjoy a truly beautiful day. They even had a mini-mart and
a pharmacy. We then drifted ways and went to our own mini-lectures including Geography, Art Design and Media Studies. We also
found out about exchanges that Waikato does with other universities
around the world and got to see the accommodation areas, which
were of quite high standard. The lectures were really informative and
helped us considerably. The environment of the University was really
cool and we felt like we were in a community. This will definitely be
our choice of university for next year.

They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and Rutherford College Community Education is still alive
and kicking, one of 48 schools out of 212 nationwide that have continued providing night classes despite the
Government’s 2009 decision to axe subsidies. It was a steep learning curve but it’s been a fantastic year.
Careful forward-planning at the tail end of 2009 saw us cutting our
coat according to our cloth and streamlining courses: compressing
the content of some and restructuring others into separate modules in order to keep costs affordable for our community of learners
in the new ‘user pays’ environment. Our decision to require payment at the time of enrolment reduced uncertainty about student
numbers and allowed us to operate our booking procedures more
efficiently. Students were not deterred by the need to pay in advance.
Interestingly enough, feedback from the end-of-course evaluations
suggests that many students wish their courses were longer, an
indication that life-long learning is still viewed by many as a valuable
priority, the cost of which is not counted in dollars alone.
A major change during 2010 has been the development of our
website at www.westaucklandcomed.co.nz. Prospective students
may now browse courses, read tutor profiles and enrol for a class
online. We had expected that the loss of so many ACE venues would
mean we began to draw students from a larger catchment area, and
our internet visibility has certainly contributed to this trend,
with students travelling from as far away as Rotorua to attend
weekend courses.
Another change observed was the number of parents asking if their
children could attend class with them. Where government regulations
had previously made this untenable (funding being directly targeted
at adult learners) under ‘user pays’ we have greater freedom to tailor
courses to meet the needs of our learner communities and so more
family-friendly courses will be an important new focus.
Planning for 2011 is already well underway with new courses being
developed, new tutors signed up, and a new brochure due to hit local
outlets late December. With the support of Principal Gary Moore and
the Rutherford College Board of Trustees, it promises to be another
lively and fulfilling year.
Young Enterprise – Eep
Eep! is Rutherford’s top Young Enterprise Company manufacturing a beanie-scarf.
Early in the morning, on Sunday, 8 August, the team met at
school and piled into the school van. We went to the Auckland
Showgrounds and set up a stall in the Trade Fair section, ready to
sell our wares.
The competition was strong as there were many other companies
from other schools all trying to sell their products, too. Our mentor,
Jenny, from YBe Fashion Design Gallery, lent us a mannequin and
we had samples for people to see and try on. We had some fun and
made some sales.
Thanks to Jenny and our other supporters - it was great to see
you there.

On the 3rd of May, we were given an opportunity to go to
the University of Otago. The flight was paid for, transportation arranged, all we had to do was get up at 4 am. We
arrived at Dunedin airport in excitement and anticipation
to visit New Zealand’s first and oldest University. Luck was
definitely on our side as the rain left us early in the morning,
letting the sun out to brighten the city.
We were shuttled to the University, admiring the views
along the way. We found the University stunning, with its
architecture and people. Friendly guides gave us tours of
residential halls, lecture rooms, and even the magnificent
central library. The visit aided our decision-making regarding
residential halls and degree choices. All in all, the visit was
very beneficial and we would highly recommend serious students to consider going to the open day next year.
We thank the school, especially Mrs. Reid and Mrs. Black,
who made this trip possible.

17 March 2010 marked the starting day of the Business Experience at Rutherford College. Students were able to
learn what it takes to be a businessman or a businesswoman. The activity was organized by Mrs. Balogh in cooperation with the Maori Women’s Development Incorporated.
S P EC I A L ED U C AT I O N 20 10
The first morning started at the Marae with a
Powhiri, welcoming the guests and students.
Everyone then headed to the hall where students were asked to sit next to someone of
the opposite gender. After an introduction by
the main organiser, the students were separated into ten groups and decided on their
group leaders.
To get the ball rolling, games were played
as warm-up and chocolates were awarded
to the winners. The actual entrepreneurial
experience then commenced with the leaders drawing lots for which specific industry
their group will specialise in. Time was given
to brainstorm for the idea of what good or
service their company will introduce to the
market. The product or service name
which had to be chosen had to be related to
the company name or be the company
name itself.
Members in each team were designated
individual tasks: Manufacturing, Sales,
Research and Finance. Each task had seminars which the students attended, learning
the key ideas and the basics on what each
role does to benefit the company. Internet
access enabled research and hastened the
work for the computer tasks while paints
were given out to challenge the artistic side
of the students and establish their company
logos. When tasks were completed, the
score board was signed by the organisers
which represented the amount of ‘cash’ that
the group will have for purchases.
The last activity before the final presentation on the third day was a bidding war for
location. The group had to use the funds
they were able to obtain by completing the
tasks. The bidding ended if the price that
the auctioneer perceived for the location
was reached. It was an interesting auction
as some of the bought locations were over
priced while some were underpriced. One
group ended up not being able to purchase
any of the auctioned location sand had to
buy one from the other group at a higher
than normal price.
Over the course of three days, several
interesting business ideas were presented
to the judges. Students were allowed to get
changed in order to be more business-like
for their presentation.
Speed Dating Organisation, as their group
name suggests, was a group focused on
organising events for speed dating. A good
way to get to know a stranger or just to
have fun!
Mascovision was a company which specialised in advertising. Their idea was to use
a television mascot in order to advertise for
other businesses.
Pet Day Care was a group which took
on pet care. A service definitely needed
when you have to work and have a pet to
worry about.
There was a variety of ideas which were
all well presented but one group was a clear
winner, the group named Plates U8. The
group thought of selling edible plates. It
wasn’t only their idea which made them win,
but also their black business attire with a yellow tie which made them stand out from the
rest. They were rewarded with medals and
winning certificates.
All those who participated received certificates for taking part in the Business
Experience. Group leaders were given
another certificate for their leadership.
Participants were also given a chance to
gain Level two credits in a unit standard
which was organised and marked by Mrs.
Balogh for their hard work throughout the
three-day course.
It was an enjoyable occasion which
Rutherford College students happily took
on, both as a learning opportunity and as a
challenge. It was good to see the great ideas
developed in the event. It was also worthy
to note the immense number of participants
which showed an overwhelming appreciation for the Business Experience.
13 Biology trip to the Museum
SC I E N C E
CO M M ERC E
Business Experience 2010
The Year 13 Biology classes visited Auckland Museum late in term 3 to learn more about human evolution and evolution of New Zealand’s native species. The hands on experience of handling million year old stone tools and skulls
was very interesting, and their teachers were impressed with how much the students remembered.
The time spent learning about NZ’s evolutionary history was very
enlightening. Some comments were: it was cool, it was fun, we
played the game, and there really ARE fossils in NZ. Getting to hold a
150 year old kiwi and 1500 year old moa bones was interesting, but
not as much as the 130 million year old fossilised poo!
The great thing about the trip was that we learned to think like scientists – always ask why, then find the evidence so you don’t look
like an idiot. Why did NZ not get any mammals? We’ve been isolated
from every other piece of land for at least 65 million years – before
mammals had even evolved! It’s easy to look at lions and giraffes and
mice to see how they fit into a food chain, but more of a challenge
to see how NZ’s birds and insects can also fit those roles – Haast’s
eagles (with a 3m wing span) could kill a giant moa or even a person,
moa who fit the role of the giraffe, and weta who do the same job as
a mouse.
To quote the museum educator: “If you want to think in straight
lines, become an accountant. It takes creativity to be a scientist, and
creative accountants get arrested!”
Biology Trip to Piha
In March earlier this year, the Year 12 Biology students, along with Dr Singh and Mrs Butler Shaw travelled the
40 minute trip by bus to Piha. The trip was for an internal assessment in which we had to observe the trends of
where the blue-banded periwinkles lived in relation to the tide, how they survive in that particular zone exposed
to rather unique environmental factors, and their relationships with other wildlife.
The two classes crammed onto a bus. I
remember sitting on the bus driving over
the Waitakere Ranges. We couldn’t help
but to hold our breath wondering whether
the bus would make it up the hills. The
entire bus would cheer when it finally
made it up a rise.
When we arrived at the beach, we
walked to the cliffs where we were to set
ourselves up. One of the best parts of the
day was actually setting up our transect
line. We had to climb the cliff face to set
up. On the cliff there were many creatures
from gross cockroaches to periwinkles to
shore crabs.
The weather that day was not the best.
The wind was really strong and to top it all
off, it rained too. The wind blew sand in our
eyes and the rain made us wet and cold.
To add to the cold, when the sun wasn’t
blocked by the clouds, it was by
the mountains.
One of the most memorable things was
watching mussels feeding. They poke out
their filter type tongue which looks like a
feather. This makes food particles stick to
it which is then pulled into its digestive
system. It was pretty amazing to see how
exactly mussels feed because we normally
see them just clinging to a rock or under
spray taps at the supermarket.
We always perceive school trips for
assessments as boring but this one was
an exception. It was a lot of fun spending the day at the beach with friends from
biology classes, climbing cliffs, looking at
all the different wild life in their natural habitats. If I were asked to do it again, I could
answer with no hesitation, Yes!

2010 has been a really exciting year for the Science department.
In the junior school, Year 9s started the year
learning about our impact on the waterways around the peninsular, and collected
more than 8000ltrs of rubbish from the

classes have been involved in an on-line
collaboration with Komazawagakuen high
school in Japan using lego kits to solve
design challenges like land yachts and stair
climbing machines. The junior units are all

being redeveloped to make them even better for students, and the teachers are really
looking forward to trying out a new era in
science teaching in 2011.
In the senior school, the biologists went
to the museum to learn about evolution,
the Liggins Institute at the University of
Auckland to work with DNA, and to Piha for
their shore study. The Chemists took a trip
to the Chelsea sugar factory get a feel for
how real science impacts on our everyday
lives. The Physics class felt left out, and so
we are planning a field trip to Rainbow’s End
for Yr13 in 2011 to experience forces. The
number of students opting to take senior
sciences for 2011 is up 25%, so Science is
proving to be a very popular subject choice.
While 2010 was an awesome year, 2011
promises to be even better!! See you all back
in Science next year!!
The Year in Special Olympics
began with Athletics in Term One at Mt

The next event was 10-Pin Bowling in
Term Three at The Lincoln Road Ten Pin
Bowling Centre. This was very successful for us again this year, when we won
yet another trophy for a team first place in
their division.
Term three also held our Basketball

We got a new German sister school in
Buxtehude, Germany and are hoping for
many exchange opportunities in the future.
Three senior German students will be leaving
for a two month exchange in December and
their exchange partners will visit Rutherford
earlier next year.
We are currently organising two trips
overseas. A group of students will travel to
China next year and we will also go on our
first German Study Tour with Massey High
School in April 2011. There are a lot of things
to look forward to.
The junior German classes created some
amazing 3D sculptures in their German culture assignment that were exhibited in the

Language students participated in many
national and international competitions such
as Australian Language Certificate and

great results.
The third Chinese Speech competition for

region in the Senior Category.
One of the highlights this year was the
International Languages Week with all
its language activities, games, competitions, international food and costume day.
Students had a great time participating in
various activities and enjoyed different food
from different cultures. It was a great success to promote the language learning and
understanding at Rutherford College.
Golden Days by Fei Zheng
Chris was a good-natured ten-year
old boy with a kind heart. His family
was quite poor so he was yearning for colourful toys and tasty
food. One Saturday morning, while
his parents were both away working, he started to make breakfast ,
beans and bread-as it always was.
“When can I eat like those of my
rich friends?” He sighed heavily.
“Now,” Who was there speaking? He
was sure that there was a low, soft voice
from the corner of the house .All of a sudden, he was startled by a funny sight. A
Rat, a Mole, a Toad, there were three animals standing in front of him, all looking at
him with kind, smiling faces. “Are you from
the book…the one… what is the name of
it ? You have to excuse me.” He scratched
his head trying to think of the name. The
Wind In The Willows!
“ Don’t worry boy, we came here to do
you no harm,” The Rat said with his little
eyes twinkling. “Come on, Ratty, what is
28
the rattling for, let’s get started. Chris has
always wanted a big, nice meal for
breakfast.” Mole jumped up and down
with excitement.
By then Chris realized that the Mole and
the Toad were carrying a huge package.
“What is inside?” asked Chris.
“Some food from our storage, tomatoes
growing in our garden, a roast chicken given
by our generous neighbors from the forest
left from their Christmas party...” By the time
Rat finished talking, Mole and Toad had prepared a magnificent feast set on the table.
As the child ate happily, Mole said: “We
grow our food, we can have plenty of food
to enjoy. Chris, do not complain about life,
but do work hard to get a good life for yourself. Do you understand what I am saying?”
Remember what I said, you will understand
it one day.”
“I see you are powerful creatures. As you
have given me such big pleasure, may I ask
for some extra services?” asked Chris.
The Toad frowned. “Greed is not a good
characteristic for a child.” Chris blushed with

embarrassment, “My grandma got cancer
and won’t live long. Will you make
her recover?” pleaded the child with
tearful eyes.
Deeply touched by the innocent heart,
the Rat said gently. “No, we are sorry for
that, as our power is not that great. But
what we can do is to send your grandpa
to her dream tonight. In that dream, we will
make them both young, experiencing their
fist date again, back in those old, golden
days, will that be ok?” Chris thanked
them sincerely.
“We have to go now; we can not wander around long.”
“Go where?”
“Go back, to our lovely river bank, into
our ship everyone,” ordered the Mole.
Then all of a sudden, a view appeared
in front of Chris: a golden summer afternoon, the river was running and singing
vividly before him. Three friends were lying
on the ship taking an afternoon nap.” As
Chris turned the corner, he saw the ship
sailing slowly out of the sight.

Rutherford Welcomes a Family from the Congo
International students from Brazil, Cambodia, Chile, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Japan, Malaysia,
Norway, Taiwan, South Korea and Vietnam have studied alongside our local students this year. The sharing of cultures and work ethic are highly valued attributes of our international program.
Towards the end of term two Rutherford College welcomed eight siblings from the Democratic Republic of the
Congo. Mandima, Victor, Murhula, Aimee and Graciano are regular students in our school while two elder
brothers and a sister are enrolled in Community Education classes.
In addition to individual enrolments, we
have welcomed several groups of overseas
visitors this year. Groups from Japan and
Thailand came to study with us during their
summer holiday season.
International Exchange students this year
have been Thora Bergsveinsdottir (Iceland)
and Anett Erno (Norway).
The International Students Committee
has actively supported means of integrating
international and domestic students. They
have scheduled and led the International
When the news arrived that these five
young people would be joining our college
after surviving the atrocities of the Civil War
which had taken the lives of their parents,
one of the first thoughts on my mind was
how they had all managed to survive on
their own.
What first struck me as I got to know the
family of eight were their integrity, maturity
and consideration for each other as well as
for other people. I was eager to hear their
survival story and to learn about one of the
most beautiful, yet bloodiest places on
the planet.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo
is located in the very heart of Africa. It is
home to the second largest rainforest in
the world. This massive expanse of lush
jungle covers most of the vast, low-lying
central basin of the river Congo. This area is
surrounded by plateaus merging into savannas in the south, by mountainous terraces
in the west, and dense grasslands extending beyond the Congo River in the north.
The DR of the Congo has an enormous
amount of mineral wealth. Cobalt, copper,
diamonds, gold, silver, zinc, tin, uranium,
radium, bauxite, iron ore, and coal are all
found in plentiful supply. Conflicts over
basic resources such as water, and access
and control over rich minerals have been
fuelled by various national and international
corporations which have an interest in the
conflict that has involved seven nations.
Since the outbreak of fighting in August
1998, some 5.4 million people have died.
It has been the world’s deadliest conflict since World War II. The vast majority
have actually died from non-violent causes
such as malaria, diarrhoea, pneumonia
and malnutrition—all typically preventable
in normal circumstances, but have come
about because of the conflict. Although
19% of the population, children account for
47% of the deaths. Some 45,000 continue
to die each month. These shocking figures
would usually be more than enough to get
Assemblies and all members of the
Committee have shown leadership and
commitment by their involvement.
Our international students have been
excellent ambassadors for their families and
countries. They have worked diligently to
achieve academic success; integrated with
domestic students both in the classroom
and in the sports arena and have
contributed to the cultural diversity of
Rutherford College.
Go! Club
by Kevin Liu
Every Friday this year, a group of students, junior and senior, have been gathering in a cosy room in the
International Village. What have they been doing? Well, exercising their brain cells, of course because Friday
lunchtime is GO! Club time.
Part of what has made GO! club so interesting is the friendly atmosphere formed in the club. Students from everywhere around the
world joined GO! Club at the beginning of the year. Not only did they
learn to play GO!, but also made new friends and learnt about other
cultures, even had a taste of their food.
“Strangers become good friends after one game.”
“Everybody feels free and comfortable.”
“We can chat and have lunch while competing against each other!”
These are just a few enthusiastic comments about this rather
unique club which is all about thinking, pondering, strategy planning,
problem solving and hopefully defeating the opponent.
GO! is a popular board game in Asia; there are normally two players in a game. Its rules are not quite simple, but once you understand
them, it is very likely you’ll get addicted to it.
“This is exciting, I can’t believe I’ve won!” Sam said excitedly after
she beat Jude one day.
Some students even felt disappointed to miss GO! club when we
had half day on Friday at the end of term.
Next year there will be more competitions in GO! club and hopefully there will prizes for winners.

media attention the world over, especially if
it were to threaten influential nations in some
way. Yet, perhaps as a cruel irony, influential nations in the world benefit from the vast
resources coming from the DRC over which
people are dying.
Graciano, Mandima, Aimee, Murhula and
Victor speak without bitterness about all this.
What they want to tell their fellow students
at Rutherford College about their life in the
Congo and the refugee camp in Uganda is
nothing but humbling.
Graciano: “Life is like stairs. Every person has a dream, but those dreams do not
become reality for everyone. Sometimes, I
have a flashback about my home country
and the camp in Uganda… People you are
surrounded by are preoccupied with themselves. No one is to be trusted there. Envy
and greed is what drives those people to
kill and commit terrible crimes. There is no
money and no employment. The eldest sister, Janine, had a job. She worked so hard
for a small wage. I was in charge of looking
after our hens and chickens. When I needed
anything, I’d sell a chicken for a jumper or
shoes. In Uganda, we were safe but food
was very basic – only beans and maize flour,
a drop of oil and salt. There, in the camp, I
went to school, but the teachers were not
qualified and the Science I did was all theory,
no experiments. Nobody cares about anyone there. If you’re sick, it’s hard to get help
because nurses are poorly trained or too
busy with dying people. I always got sick
with malaria there, but now, in New Zealand,
ever since I arrived, I haven’t been sick once.
I’m so grateful to all lovely people here. Their
hospitality is amazing.”
Elodie: “In the Congo, life is extremely
dangerous for girls and women – they are
vulnerable and subjected to unspeakable
abuse and violence. We were protected by
the Catholic Mission priest and UNHCR. But
we had to run and hide because everyone
knew who we were – our father had been
killed because he’d advised people against
by Ms Gerzic
violence and told them not to join
the rebels.”
Murhula: “In my country, it is hard to find a
job even if you have qualifications. You can
get employment if you have connections.
Even when you work, you get paid so little
that it is impossible to buy anything. People
who work in mines digging gold and diamonds are paid more, but their neighbours
will often break into their houses at night and
kill them if they do not give away their earnings. There are people who will poison the
children of their neighbours if they
perform well at school, better than their
own children.”
Aimee: “In the camp in Uganda, life was
very bad. I couldn’t go to school. I used to
sell tomatoes at the market or exchange
them for some oil or clothes…Fresh water
was not really fresh and was far away. We
had to dig deep in the ground at night and
then be there around 4am – then the water
would surface. If you don’t get there early
enough to collect water, it will either get dirty
or evaporate in the heat.”
Victor: “That water was far from clean. It
is so easy to get typhoid fever. Then they will
take you to hospital. You’d be in agony but
you had to wait for half a day for a nurse to
come and see you. They will try to give you
an injection; sometimes they’d prick you 10
times because the nurses are unqualified.”
This kind of life is now behind Elodie,
Aimee, Victor, Murhula, Graciano and
their family
They now enjoy everything that young
people usually take for granted: cell phones,
DVDs, movies, music and computer games.
Above all, they appreciate the opportunity to
go to school again and to learn.
Their final message: “We want to thank
everyone at Rutherford for accepting us and
helping us so much in every way.”
Victor had one more thing to say, “We are
all the same – people from Asia, Europe,
Africa or New Zealand – we just have different life experiences.”

Words are spoken,
Then hastily sought to be snatched
back.
Actions are done and then
regretted.
Words can not be unspoken.
Actions can not be undone.
Mistakes and accidents are one in
the same.
Spite to envy,
Envy to fury,
Fury to pity,
Pity to sorrow,
Sorrow to regret,
Regret to guilt.
Guilt that you will forever bear in
your mind..
Guilt that you will forever carry
upon your shoulders.
As you bury him under a sky darkened with ash,
You will know that you could have
saved him from his demons,
But you smirked and turned the
other cheek.
Do you know who I am?
Death or memory?
I am neither.
I am you.

Winter
The winter sets in
Autumn has passed
Like sand in an hourglass.
The snow begins to fall,
From an unforgiving sky.
As the clouds thicken,
So does my heart.
For winter brings the cold,
Loss and sorrow.

The Curse
Now that the gate has been
unlatched
And headstones pushed aside
Corpses shift to offer room
A fate you must abide
Walled up inside your tomb
With darkness all around
Rotting hands of flesh and bone
Reach up to drag you down
Fires burn and demons dance
To the sound of a beating drum
To remind you of what it is that
you have done
You scream in pain and agony
As the blood pours from your ears
You try to crawl and cry for help
but no one really cares
You gaze upon the dark night sky
With glazed unblinking eyes
While your body draws the hunger
Of a thousand feasting flies
Ryan MacDonald
Love, the language of the soul.
To explain to someone who has
never felt its touch
Is like describing color to a creature without eyes.
Love is devotion for the person
who is your life,
The person you live for,
And like a Martyr,
The person you would die for.
They are your pulse,
The blood in your veins,
The stars in your night sky,
The light to your darkness.
Like manna from Heaven,
They will keep you alive.
Or like a blade,
They will slice through your heart
and twist the knife.
They are your world.
Do not ever let them go.

Whole school production (Oliver!)………check; Year 12 and 13 production (Antigone)……check; Year 11
production (Eating the Wolf)……check; Theatresports workshops………check.
The Drama Department has been busy this year making sure that students have had the opportunity to
be involved in a wide range of activities both in and outside of the classroom.
With the departure of Mr. Sheehan to pastures new, the Department now consists of oneand-a-bit teachers, with Mrs. Goulding taking on one Year 9 class each semester. This
has meant that everyone has been pretty busy, especially during term two when the whole
school production and the Year 12 and 13 production were rehearsing at the same time!
The number of students in the Department has grown, along with the number of live
performances that students have had the opportunity to attend. Students were able to
attend two performances each term, ranging from the powerful and moving Nga Manurere
at TAPAC to a new and vibrant version of Romeo and Juliet at the Maidment Theatre that
certainly kept the students who attended talking about it for some time afterwards!
The Department was also involved in holding auditions for a new film by Tammy Davis
(see auditions article) and the whole school was very pleased when one of our students
was cast in the final film.
Junior students have worked hard to continue last year’s tradition of playing warm up
games with focus and enthusiasm and the introduction of ‘I am Mr. Hit’ has been received
with equal measures of joy and frustration.
Senior students have also worked hard both in the whole school production and in their
own productions. Year 12 and 13 students staged a version of Jean Anouilh’s Antigone
which was affected quite badly by some students leaving school. The rest of the cast did
their best to fill the gaps, but the final performance did show a number of wobbles. The
small audience was supportive and the students did feel some achievement in that they
performed the play, even if it was not to the standard they would have liked.
Year 11 students staged a production of Eating the Wolf by Sarah Delahunty and raised
funds for the Drama Department by
selling tickets to their final assessment
performance. Both acting and production teams worked hard to give a polished
performance that was enjoyed by students and audience alike.
Term 4 saw the introduction of a Junior
Theatresports tournament that will hopefully become a fixture, allowing teams to
practise their skills before the school joins
the Auckland wide Theatresports Youth
Programme where competition will be
against other schools.
2011 promises to be another busy year
for the Drama Department, with another
whole school production to produce and
wonderfully creative students to support
and develop. Oscar Wilde considered
’theatre to be the greatest of all art forms’
so if you’d like to know more, come and
join in with the wonderfully weird Drama
Department next year!
Auditions
The telephone message was unexpected and extremely exciting: “Hello there. We’re casting a film written by Tammy
Davis from Outrageous Fortune and we’re looking for Maori or Pasifika boys aged 13 – 16. Could we come to your
school to audition some of your students?”
Arrangements were made for auditions to be held on a sunny Friday
morning at the start of term 2. Tammy Davis and his friend Rob
Mokaraka arrived at school and found 17 students eager to audition.
Rob took everyone’s details and Tammy began the process of
auditioning two students at a time.
There were many nervous faces before the students went in, but
lots of smiles when they came out. After introducing themselves on
camera, the students read an extract from Tammy’s script and followed his directions. Everyone involved agreed that Tammy and Rob
had been really friendly and easy to get on with, and that the audition
had been fun.
Two weeks later, a message was received that 6 of the Rutherford
students had been selected to attend another audition for the film.
We were also told that ‘Rutherford was the best school’ that the team
had visited.
Some weeks later, after yet more auditions, we received the thrilling news that Maia Ngata-Aerengamate had been chosen to appear
in the film. Look out for Maia’s performance soon!
Grief
I am grief.
Grey as a storm cloud.

School Production OLIVER
by Faber Edwards
School productions are now an engrained tradition at Rutherford. Productions have punctuated my time here at
Rutherford College, from ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat’ in 2007, to ‘For Today’ in 2008, and
then this year with ‘Oliver!’ Lionel Bart’s musical classic graced the Rutherford stage in June this year to much
applause and acclaim, but it wasn’t all fun and games putting on this song and dance.
The auditions for the show were nervewracking, even though I’ve been doing it for
years. Mrs Faaea-Semiatu and Mrs Sykes,
two of Rutherford’s kindest teachers, did
their very best to be as intimidating as possible. For the younger students it was a new,
exciting and scary experience, but once
rehearsals began, they soon discovered the
teachers in charge weren’t as scary as they
may have seemed, but also that performance really required a lot of hard work
and discipline.
Rehearsals were tough for everyone,
including the teachers. Miss Exeter had her
work cut out for her training the rhythmically-challenged how to dance. The hours
were long and we all appreciate the work
our teachers put in, above and beyond what
they are paid to do.
As the production started coming
together, we became more and more
excited. In the weeks leading up to opening night, the set transformed into 1800s
London and we were accompanied by the
talented production band. We could suddenly see all our hard work was going to pay
34
off, and that our first performance was just
around the corner.
On opening night, nerves and emotions
were high. We were anxious to see how
our first paying audience would react, and
we were excited to tell the classic story of
‘Oliver!’ our way. And the audience loved it.
For our week-long season of performances,
we received tremendous amounts of praise
and compliments from audience members.
For the younger members of the cast it was
a great new experience and for the senior
students, it was a wonderful send-off as our
last school production.
‘Oliver!’ was a fantastic experience, and
I’ve been left with many fond memories.
All I have is gratitude for the teachers, cast
members and everyone else who made it a
reality. I can only hope that the role productions and the performing arts play at
Rutherford College will continue to grow and
become more prominent in future years,
and that more and more students seize this
opportunity to have a great time and give
back to the school.

Friday 13th August – a day feared by many, but not by the 2010 Rutherford Prefects – well sort of. The prefects
wanted to give students the opportunity to showcase their talents, so put on The Rutherford X-Factor Talent Show.
It was also decided that money from ticket sales would be donated to The New Zealand Cancer Society and the
inaugural Rutherford Cultural Dinner.
With only 50 pre-sale tickets sold, organiser Michele Lee was thinking maybe the Friday the 13th curse was in play. However, this was
not the case.
The evening turned out to be a great success with more than 230
people filling the hall to see which Rutherfordians had the X-Factor.
Helena Lau and Stephanie Bidois, entertained the audience as the
MCs for the evening, and with a wide range of talents showcased, it
was a spectacular show.
From beatboxing to the Rubik’s cube, dance to singing, we were
treated with a wide range of talents. We were also lucky enough to
have impromptu performances by Graham Clark, who did his funny
eyebrow thing (like in the Cadbury Ad), and also by Simon Sekulov,
who gave a beautiful rendition of the Rutherford Way.
While there were so many talented performers, the very professional judging panel made up of Ms Faaea-Semeatu, her friend
Manu and Mr Raine, narrowed it down to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
3rd place went to the very capable duo of Coralie Bristowe (singer)
and Sam Spackman (guitarist) who wowed the crowd with their performance of “I wish I was a punk rocker”. 2nd place went to Phillip
Wang who impressed everyone with his beatboxing and 1st place
went to the very talented, and very entertaining trio of Tatupu Fata
(guitarist and singer), Tangaroa Te Tai (singer) and Gino October
(singer), who performed a medley of songs.
As usual, such a successful show would not have been made
possible without a huge support crew. A big thank you to all the
teachers, prefects, cultural committee members and technicians
who put together such a smooth show, and the biggest thank you to
all the performers and the audience for coming out to support this
student-run event.
Over $1000 was raised from The Rutherford X-Factor, half of which
will go towards the Rutherford Cultural Dinner and the other half to
The New Zealand Cancer Society. What an event! What a success!
What talent we have here at Rutherford! We definitely have
the X-Factor!

Rutherford Senior Choir
With barely any vocal warm-ups, stolen music (ok, whoever took it will not be my bff), fluctuating numbers, and
singing three different parts almost simultaneously (you’d have to be possessed to pull that one off!), the senior
choir made their intrepid journey into the hub of the city on Monday June 14.
Like the junior choir, we were also required to adhere to the set repertoire for the competition, one NZ composition (A Song of Ruth by
David Hamilton, former HOD Music at Epsom Girls’ Grammar and
famed NZ choral composer), one Western Art piece (Angus Dei
by Pergolesi), and one post 1900s piece (The Power of the Dream
by Babyface). We were originally set to sing But He Still Loves Me
featured in the “Fighting Temptations” film, but someone stole the
music from the grand piano (the only copy, never doing that again!).
The senior choir is made up of the Year 12 and Year 13 Music
vocalists and singing enthusiasts who enjoy group singing. They
performed to a very receptive audience and received excellent
feedback from the regional judge. Standout performers this year
were Amanda Hyde and Dain Kim. Newcomer Jacob Wharerau
found that once he applied himself to his singing, he was able to
increase his vocal potential. We will be looking at working intensively with Hitesh Patel, who, despite his unparalleled attendance
record, has yet to achieve the same dizzying heights with his
vocal performances.
Bring It On
Rutherford College’s 54 strong hip hop crew certainly knows how to “bring it,” with the crew taking
out third place in the North and West region section of Bring It On.
After working together since the start of the year, the students finally
got to show the other schools what they were about on June 11 at
the Trusts Stadium in Henderson.
Competing against nine other strong schools from the North
and West region, the Rutherford crew showed that they were
among the best. They came in close in behind Kelston Girls High
School and Kelston Boys High School, who took first and second
place respectively.
The group was lead by Rodney Tyrell, Alex Sani and Awhi Ripikoi.
The talented trio was also responsible for choreographing the piece.
The crew was not only set apart from other schools because of
their tight routine but because of their creative and visually dynamic
costumes. Replicating the old school video game Pac Man, the
t-shirts had Pac Man of Pac Miss in fluro creating a three-dimensional
effect on stage.
Based around a 360 degree stage, choreographically it was a
challenge for the students. Many people commented on how effective the formations were and how tight and in sync the students’
performance was. It was also said that the routine’s originality and
execution made them stand out from the rest of the crews.
The crew then advanced through to the grand final at the end of
Term Three, competing against the top four groups from Central and
South Auckland where they won a prime place in every person’s
heart and kept their pride well and truly alive.
Having worked hard for two long months, Rutherford College
Bring It On dance crew brought a whole new routine to the stage at
the Trust Stadium on August 14.
The crew of Rutherford College worked exceptionally hard, and
even though they didn’t get a placing, their energising five minute
performance never failed the expectations of the most ardent
Rutherford supporters.
Rutherford Junior Choir
From a core group of twenty Year 9 and 10 students, the final hardcore group of thirteen (unlucky for some,
but not our lot) junior singers made their way to the Auckland Town Hall to compete in the Auckland Secondary
Schools’ Regional Choir Festival.
Due to this generation’s penchant for
simplicity and possibly the future onset
of dementia, this event is now known as
THE BIG SING. But don’t be fooled by
the monosyllabic title of the event, as the
Rutherford Junior Choir was up against
some stiff competition. This was the
choir’s baptism of fire into the competitive
arena, and its first public performance.
The choir performed the required
set repertoire for the event of one NZ
38
composition (Me Huihui by Dr. Pita Sharples),
one Western Art music piece (Adoramus by
Orlando di Lasso, a Renaissance composer)
and a post 1900s piece (Thou O Lord, a
gospel piece made famous by the Brooklyn
Tabernacle Choir). The junior choir was
lead by the very talented Miss Tanielu. The
accompanists were Mrs Faaea-Semeatu and
Maia Ngata-Aerengamate.
There were standout performances by
Alasdair Robertson, Lily Du, Landa Tupai
and David Palamo. We look forward to
more performances from the junior choir
next year.

The 4th annual Green Bay sports
exchange was held between the
colleges on Thursday 29th April
on a beautiful summer’s day ideal
for sport.
9 senior teams were represented across 7
codes with Rutherford sending two full and
excited busloads of elite sportspersons to
contest netball, rugby, basketball, football
and squash at Green Bay High School. The
1st XI girls hockey team were also involved
again this year and held on for a 0-0 draw
played at Avondale College and the senior waterpolo team came from behind to
beat Green Bay 9-8 in a thriller at the West
Wave Aquatic Centre. Both premier netball
teams again dominated the opposition and
the football games, always hotly contested
finished with a win to the boys and a draw
for the girls. Both rugby and basketball had
a tough day succumbing to Green Bay but
proving they are still no pushovers! The senior boys squash team held their own to finish
2-2 even with two opposition players being
carded squash players. All teams use the
exchange as preparation heading into their
regular seasons trying combinations and for
some playing together in a game situation
for the first time so great results all round.
Another victory to Rutherford recording 4
wins, 3 draws and 2 losses.

Green Bay Sports Exchange
We were blessed with some beautiful weather again as we prepared for
Athletics Day 2010. Held over two days, competitors worked hard on heats
day to ensure their place in the track finals on day two with 105 students
achieving one or more top 3 placings across 3 age groups.
Two school records were also broken during
the competition. The first in the junior boys
long jump where Daniel Gates 9FT jumped
5.44m to claim the title, the second in the
triple jump. Teresa Chand 9BK jumped
6.83m into the record books with her nearest competitor nearly 50cm behind in the pit.
Congratulations!!!
We were extremely pleased with the
number of year 9 & 10 competitors out there
this year, the talent definitely bodes well for
more record breaking attempts in the years
to come.
Thanks to Mr Matai’a and his year 13 PE
class who set up the fields on both days, the
members of staff who continually offer their
assistance in marshalling, and Mr Smith who
survived a Javelin in the leg on day one (as
well as some stitches and a tetanus shot)
to actually come back and still want to be
involved on day two.
12 students went on to compete for
Rutherford at the Auckland Secondary
Schools Athletics qualifying days with
Paxton Maligi 9BK and Gary Hansen 12DS
making it through to the finals meet held
on Wednesday 10th March. Gary earned a
bronze medal in the intermediate boys long
jump with a personal best jump of 6.25m
and Paxton won gold in the junior girls long
jump with a jump of 4.86m also a personal
best. Congratulations!!!
Rugby
The Rutherford 6th grade rugby side is fast becoming the premier oval ball
team in the school with a recent run of emphatic wins. After a mixed start
to the season the team looks as if it has gelled and is now playing an exciting brand of stylish free-flowing rugby. Last weekend’s win against Selwyn
College had the crowd on its feet with some exhilarating backline play set up
by a formidable showing from the forward pack.
Star performers so far have been South African import Clint Sampson who has lead the team
well from the front row, lineout supremo Malachai Tuaoi tireless flanker Kane Whitcombe and
hard running midfielders Josh Fata and Qdane Kingi. If Sonny Bill Williams needs some advice
on adapting to union after league he could do a lot worse that watching our code changers
Cubah Tahiti, Jeffrey Maepu and Alex MacWilliam who are proving to be crowd favourites with
their exciting running and tactical nous.
Sources close to the boys say that there is a good buzz in the squad and that they are rating their chances of finishing the rest of the season unbeaten.
Coaches Place and Nola have been impressed by the teams’ spirit and work ethic. They
would also like to thank all the loyal parents and supporters who turn up every Saturday.
Swimming Sports
Our annual school swimming sports day was held on Friday 12th
February with a few hundred students opting to spend their day
outside by the pool in the heat of the summer sun.
Our champions impressed with their
technique and speed in the water often
unchallenged. Some other highlights
of the day included the prefects in their
‘cupid’ get ups selling valentines day
roses for $2, the 4 x 1L individual medley, Anahera Hakiaha 9OL making the
2 length freestyle and breaststroke look
easy and Alannah Prins 11TR & Dean
Lupton 12BL who completely dominated
their respective grades winning all 8
events. A huge thanks to the ‘exclusive’
team of organisation staff who do a great
job running this event.

After comfortably qualifying from their grading round in second place, Rutherford came up against the best sides
from right across Auckland in a 12 team championship round competition. This was the first time in a long while that
Rutherford had a team make it into this grade of football.
2010 has been another year of growth for sport at Rutherford. Student participation is up 2% from where
we were this time in 2009, and by the end of this year we should have seen 82 teams proudly representing
our school in 31 different codes.
The team proved that they were more
than capable of competing at the highest level. During the championship round
they recorded wins against Avondale
and Massey, and a well deserved 2-0
win against Kelston Boys confirmed wins
against all other West Auckland schools. A
2-0 away win against St Kent’s further demonstrated that this group of players provided
an exciting base for the future of football at
Rutherford. The team finished 7th in this top
tier competition and were unlucky at times
that results and key moments in a number of
close games did not go their way.
The strength of the team was the work
ethic and willingness to defend as a unit.
The team conceded only 16 goals in 11
championship fixtures, 5 of which were
from penalties.
Throughout the season the team played a
total of 18 games winning 10, drawing 2 and
losing 6, and in doing so, they scored 44
Our junior students led the way with impressive participation numbers in our school athletics and swimming field days. A special
mention and congratulations to Daniel Gates (year 9) who broke
the junior boys long jump record that had stood since 1971 with a
jump of 5.44m. From the school event 12 students qualified for the
Auckland Championships where Paxton Maligi (year 9) took Gold in
the junior girls long jump in what looked like a warm up run for the
Waitakere City Club athlete. At the same event Gary Hansen (year
12) came home with a bronze medal in the intermediate boys long
jump and his performance earned him a place in the tournament
team representing Auckland at the North Island Secondary Schools
Championships in Wellington.
Our open equestrian team placed a credible 2nd overall at the
Auckland Championships beating out some of the larger ‘equestrian’
schools and forcing them all to have a ‘second look’ at our little team
from Rutherford. Congratulations team!
Boys’ volleyball has been revived this year due to the recruitment of P.E staff members Mr Roulston and Mr McLean who opted
to take on our talented and enthusiastic group of boys interested in
the sport. Hard work paid off during the season with the team winning the central/west division three championship in term one. The
senior girls team was also not to be outshone under leadership of Mr
Matai’a, placing third in the western zone division.
With the winter sport season fast approaching we tried a registration evening for all students interested in playing a winter code for the
school. This involved students (and Mum or Dad) coming down to
the school on one of three evenings, filling out a registration form and
paying a deposit for each code. Around half of our sports students
followed this direction, which made organising trial dates/trainings for teams so much easier for us as a department and our code
teachers in charge.We will iron out a few issues but will return to the
same sort of registration in 2011. Look out for dates and further information in the school pack you receive in January!
Both hockey and squash saw increases in both participating
students and the number of teams fielded this year. Squash teams
increased from 5 to 7 with 37% more students and hockey from
3 teams to 4 i.e 14% more students were playing hockey than in
2009. If we then go on to compare these two sports with 2008 data,
we see that in only two years we have increased participation in
squash by 54% and in hockey by 69%. Both our 1st XI girls and boys
hockey teams placed in the Auckland Open C grade divisions. The
girls, coached by Miss Henderson, were 2nd = in the western division and the boys coached by Mr Thompson won the west division
and played off for the overall C grade championship title where they
eventually finished runners up. Both teams will now be expected to
travel to satellite hockey tournaments in 2011 as part of the sport
contingency sent from Rutherford participating in national winter
tournament week. Exciting times!!!
The junior boys squash team came agonizingly close to a win in
their grade over Kings College which ended up with our number 1
& 2 players losing by a single point and players 3 & 4 drawing both
their matches. It did prove however, (as Mr Moore alluded to at junior
assembly shortly after the final) that you don’t need to pay thousands
of dollars to receive a quality sport programme at school. Squash
has been supported in the last two years by Lauren Carter (year 12),
who is unable to play for the school due to basically being too good
(a carded player), who then offered her time as a coach for all our
teams who train at Club Physical. Thank you, Lauren.
The 1st XI girls football team after a great 2009 season was promoted to the premier 2 division of the Greater Auckland Competition,
and although they struggled at times with the experience of other
teams, held their own to secure their place again in the 2011 league.
Our junior girls team also showed their skill set completely dominating in the junior B division and beating St Mary’s College 6-5 in the
final (penalties) after the game was drawn at full time and at the ends
of extra time.
and conceded 20. One of highlights of the
season would be leading eventual champions Westlake 1-0 at Westlake with 5 minutes
to go. In the final moments we were pegged
back with a penalty and a fantastic long
range strike. Westlake finished the season
with a 100% record but knew they were
lucky to have got out of this one with their
record intact.

Matic provided a very solid foundation.
Bryce Marchant in goal was a very strong
last line of defence. These 5 were the basis
on which the success throughout the season was built.
Up front, Matthew Gaughan and Tyler
Murphy showed a good range of skills and
an eye for goal. Player of the season, Daniel
Gates, bagged a hatful of goals and was
capable of scoring against all opposition. He
further proved this in his performances for
the 1st XI at their national tournament.
Across the midfield Jayden Howdle and
Aaron Wilson provided a strong centre of
the park and developed a good partnership.
Nathan Rollinson was effective on the right
flank and worked up and down the pitch to
good effect. Hadley Patchett was asked to
do a number of roles and grew in confidence. He delivered a cracker of a cross for
the goal headed in by late season recruit,
Daniel Hough, for the winner against Massey.
Finally, but by no means least is Hehwad
Nassery, whose close control and clever
touches often created opportunities to keep
the ball. His calm finish to seal the victory
away to St Kent’s was a classic piece of play.
The team was a pleasure to coach; therefore, I strongly encourage that they continue
to work hard in the years ahead. I look forward to seeing this group represent the 1ST
XI with pride in the years ahead.
Girls Football 1st XI Team
National Football tournament week is the winter sporting highlight for young women all across New Zealand, and
Rutherford’s 1st XI Football girls were fortunate enough to attend the Grant Jarvis Tournament in Taupo again,
thanks to their superstars, Coach Miss O’Neill and Ms Shaw, their manager. The team of year tens to thirteens got
along well, with additional players due to team injuries.
With two games each day we had very early
mornings, and we certainly got to know
each other’s morning routines, along with
Kapiti College girls, who over the week we
became friends with. Our first game was a
Draw and we had high hopes for the rest
of the week. Unfortunately, the two games
a day caught up with us. We soon fought
back in the end, beating Iona in our final 2-1.
44
Whakatane beat Otumoetai 2-1 to win the
tournament. The week not only held two
games a day, but we had trips to the natural
spa pools, that gave a nice escape to the
pressure of winning our games. A trip to
the golf hole in one gave many laughs. Karli
and Chantelle along with others showed off
their well-learnt skills, getting close to a hole
in one. Overall, we had a good time, with
dance styled warm ups, to a dinner/dance
get together with all the other teams on
Thursday, and the fun and injuries of football. Thanks to all the girls in the 1st XI team
who went to tournament, the coach, and
the manager. Without all of you it wouldn’t
have been possible, and as much fun. Also
good luck to all the girls who are moving on,
we are going to miss you.
We again had 9 netball teams playing in the Waitakere Netball
competition and moved our elite sides back from the Trusts Stadium
to play in the newly refurbished indoor courts at Te Pai. The Premier
2 team lost by 2 in extra time vs St Dominics in the division 4 final
while the 10A team see-sawed in the year 10 division 2 final against
Massey in the end also going down by 2.
Of our students who this year have gone on to higher representative honours in sport, congratulations to Paxton Maligi, double
representative for athletics & netball, Emily Petherick double representative for softball & netball, Casey White for her selection and
inclusion in the Pacific Rim invitational netball team that travelled to
Australia in May, Manaia Babbington, - New Zealand Tag rep, Tamati
McGregor & Tangaroa Te Tai – NZ Grid Iron reps and Bradley Gates
who at the national BMX Championships claimed the New Zealand
#1 title in the U16 boys division.
I would like to thank our students who have given back to
Rutherford sport this year by taking on coaching roles of junior
teams and our committed parents who have assisted us in being
able to field our teams by stepping up to the plate and taking on a
management role. Without your help this year, many of our students would not have had the opportunity to participate. Thank you
also to our keen group of honorary sports staff who work above
and beyond their contracted teaching hours to coach and manage
teams. We have a hugely talented team who strive to increase your
skill knowledge and further your development in sport. Thank you to
our 2010 sports captains and committee members who have done a
great job this year and to the year 13 students who have participated
in sport at any level and now head out of the gates for the last time.
Thinking back to my own high school years (which were not that
long ago) the long lasting friendships and monumental experiences
gained were through my association with school sports teams both
competitive and social. I hope your experience in sport has been as
positive and you continue to play next year and in the years ahead.
Michael Jordan once said, “Don’t wish it were easier, wish you
were better”. So bring on 2011, it won’t get any easier but Rutherford
sport is getting better. Be a sport, get involved!
