Do you have ideas about how Rutherford College can continue to improve?

Want to Make a Real Difference at Rutherford?

Have you ever wished students had a stronger voice in the decisions that shape school life? Do you have ideas about how Rutherford College can continue to improve? If so, becoming the Student Trustee on the School Board could be the opportunity you're looking for.

The Student Trustee is the official student voice on the Board, helping to represent the views, ideas, and interests of the student body. As a board member, you'll be involved in discussions about the future of the school, including student achievement, school facilities, strategic planning, finances, policies, and major projects that impact students.

This is a unique leadership opportunity that gives you real influence and valuable experience in governance, decision-making, and advocacy. The Board meets twice each term in the evening.

Who Can Stand?

Any student currently in Years 9–12 can nominate themselves. You don't need someone else to nominate you—simply complete both sections of the nomination form if you're nominating yourself.

Election Timeline
