Community Involvement

Our school values strong partnerships with our families and community. Parents and carers can get involved through our Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) or by volunteering at our school. Your time and support help make our school a better place for everyone.

Parents and Citizens Association (P&C)

Our P&C is a group of parents, carers and school community members. They assist with school planning, fundraising, events and volunteering. Our P&C works in partnership with our school to promote the interests of our school community.

Joining the P&C a great way to meet other families, get involved and contribute to our school's future. We would love to have you on board.

P&C Meetings

Our P&C meetings are held on a Tuesday and twice a term - Week 3 & Week 7.

Meetings commence at 6:00pm in the school administration office (there is also an online option for those that are not able to attend in person).

Community Support

Rutherford Technology High School is proud to have the support of the local businesses and community members. This is reflected in many events at the school where members of the local businesses and community members volunteer their time to support activities at the school.

This support includes a range of events such as:

• Career Choices Workshop where members of the local community come in to talk to Year 10 students about their careers, what is involved in their working life, qualifications needed for this career pathway, where the job can lead, etc.
• Student Work Experience Program - many of our students are keen to experience the workplace for themselves to determine if it could be the right career pathway for them.   Local businesses are approached to offer one week's work experience to students.
• Impressions 10 Mock Interviews - these take place during November when all Year 10 students undergo an interview with a panel drawn from the local community.  The purpose of this is to practise their interview skills and be well prepared for when they are faced with the real life experience of being interviewed for a job.
