Monday 31 July 2017 to Friday 4 August 2017 was Education Week!
Education Week is a state-wide annual event to celebrate Public Education in NSW. The week highlights the achievements of Public Education and local schools, putting the spotlight on our students, our educators and the communities that support them.
This year's theme is ‘I Learn, We Learn'. It is a celebration of our schools' community to ensuring:
System-wide Improvement – Every student, every teacher, every leader and every school will improve every year.
High Expectations for All – A culture of high expectations for our students and our educators sets high standards, which leads to high achievement.
Personalised Student Learning – By teaching to the strengths and needs of each individual, students will be better able to reach and exceed their potential.
Wellbeing – Every student will be known, cared for and respected.
Creating Stronger Ties with Local Communities – Parents and carers are our schools' partners in education and wellbeing of each student. Partnerships with local businesses and industry create opportunities for our students to contribute to and thrive in society.
Rutherford Technology High School hosted the Rutherford Learning Community Group Education Week Ceremony on Wednesday 2 August 2017. Special guests included Principals from our Partner Primary Schools. Captain, Ashley Fry, and Vice-Captain, Sophie Curry, did a wonderful job as MC for the evening, our Hospitality Students under the guidance of Mrs Smailes and Ms Keath were exceptional and the Sound & Lighting Crew under the guidance of Mr Wirth & Ms Walters once again made it all come together!
