Rutherford College

great school I love everyone involved with this school

I went to this school and its dog shit teachers throw shade for no reason and students steal shit, bully and get away with it some tat loyalty try hard shet my niece also goes to this school and she steals cars is on drugs and thinks shes tough shes 14 bro she met the kids at rutherford. Not to mention the education there these days is piss poor. Definitely wouldn't send my kids there

I asked ChatGPT about my old school, Rutherford, and it mentioned that it ranks among the bottom 20 out of 400 schools in Auckland. It said that the school teaches kids unfairly, and I remember you can ask ChatGPT yourself to see what it says. Now that I've left Rutherford to go to a better school, I can say I'm having a much better time, like 100 times better, and I'm learning so much more. While I had some good times with friends at Rutherford, the school is just bad at everything, really everything. Some teachers would use the N-word often, which is completely unacceptable and sets a bad example for kids. Bullying was also a huge problem, and it felt like the school just didn’t care about stopping it. It was really a dog-eat-dog environment, and not in a good way. I strongly encourage anyone to consider going to a different school!

I have had good support form one staff member in particular who has been trying to help My daughter who has been struggling emotionally, My previous experience with my Son was not as good, they kicked him out as he was too hard to deal with, (He has Autism) passing the problem onto someone else is lazy. They have now excluded my daughter too with no care for how their actions will affect her mental health. The principal is not to be trusted and takes the easy option of passing "the problem" onto another school to deal with. I am disgusted with the treatment and warn anyone who has a child with learning or mental health issues to steer well clear of this dumpster of a school.

The learning experience gets better in the later years but unfortunately some kids don't. The only problem I'd have of this school is how much time does get wasted during tutor classes, and how many "gangster" like kids there are. I had a group of kids in my class who would constantly harass students and teachers, disrupting everyone's learning, and nothing was done about it. I regret to say my early years were not fun. And I'm disappointed I feel I didn't get to look forward to coming to a welcoming friendly class each day. I did not feel safe coming to school.

the school will not do anything if you report a teacher for being racist etc they don't care about bullying they waste their time telling off kids about their appearance such as hair colour, jewelry, shoes and piercings
