Welcome From the Principal - Dallas Murdoch

I am proud to be the Principal of Rutherford Intermediate.
At Rutherford we aim to provide the best educational structure to suit the individual needs of each child. To do this in a safe, caring environment small classes are one of the essential requirements. Rutherford Intermediate has achieved this by introducing an innovative programme which maintains a teacher-student ratio of 1:23 for 80% of the day. We are committed to providing learning opportunities for the student in an environment that is based on respect and caring for one another. We have also responded to the demands for excellent academic results, firm discipline and a supportive guidence network.
Students at this stage of their development have very special needs, Rutherford is resourced and staffed by teachers dedicated to meet these needs.
Students learn best in a caring, organised and safe environment where excellence and high standards of behaviour are expected and achieved. We believe that we have achieved these conditions.
My staff and I teach at Rutherford by choice, make it your choice also!
