Rutherford College - Te Atatū Peninsula
About Rutherford College
In 2015, we started to deconstruct the logo as part of our brand development. The school colours were agreed in 1961. They are blue, silver and red. The blue and silver represents the sea around Te Atatu Peninsula. The emblem of a Kotuku represents the local area (Kotuku were often seen in the tidal estuary adjacent to Te Atatu Peninsula – and the school is on Kotuku Street). It is also a symbol of prestige, purity and uniqueness. One of the greatest compliments among Māori is to liken someone to Kotuku for it signifies everything rare and beautiful.
The school motto is “Tohea” shortened from “Tohea, tohea ko te tohe o te kai” which means “Strive, strive as you would strive for food”. When the Rutherford College logo was developed, the school colour of red was incorporated over blue to represent dawn over the water. Te Atatu means “the dawn” and Te Atatu Peninsula looks out across Waitemata Harbour to Auckland City in the dawn of each morning. Fitting symbolism for students starting out on their journey to adulthood.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great school with a small amount of students who ruin things for everyone but all schools have them, I've heard students from different schools that have moved to and from this school say that it's the best high school in Auckland.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Glad to have gone to this school and so sad to leave. Great school 10/10
Honestly so glad I attended this school, if i never attended I would never have met the best teacher ever Mr Rossin in Bio. Mr Rossin is such a G and I will miss him very much. Honestly the only teacher keeping me through the day. He is a well spoken man and very engaging, helped me and @joshua.ng73 understand the science of chitons and zendaya. Sad to leave I will never forget the biggest G Mr Rossin may he be blessed his whole life and be immune to corona. also shoutout to @isi.676
