Our Values

Our Whakatauki
Hutia te rito
Hutia te rito o te harakeke
Kei whea te ko(ri)mako e ko
Ki mai ki ahau
He aha te mea nui
He aha te mea nui o te ao
Maku e kii atu
He tangata, he tangata,
He tangata, hei!

If the heart of the flax bush is removed
Where will the Bellbird sing?
Say to me
What is the most important thing
In this world?
I will say
It is people, it is people,
It is people!

We see this whakatauki as encompassing our beliefs of the importance of whānau, and the importance of caring for our environment.

Our learners
We empower our children to make decisions about their learning. We ensure there is opportunity for choice within our programs. We gather student voice and encourage our learners to set goals and to understand what their next learning steps are.
During their time at Rutherford our children develop key learner dispositions
