Rutherford College Hall of Distinction

The Rutherford College Hall of Distinction Award recognises former students who have achieved outstanding success and made significant contribution to their field, community or the school itself. This is a prestigious honour and our way to acknowledge the achievements of our alumni and inspire current students.

What is signifies: 

Honorary recognition: Membership is an honour bestowed upon individuals for their notable achievements and contributions.
Alumni Success: It highlights the accomplishments of past students in various fields, such as arts, business, sport and community service.
Community and School Spirit: Inductees often demonstrate a significant contribution to the broader community and have embodied the spirit of the school.

How it Works:

Nominations open online in May, they close in July. The community nominates deserving individuals during this time. A selection committee reviews the nominations to select inductees who meet the criteria for outstanding achievement and contribution.

​Induction:

A special assembly is held for the Inductees, and their names join a prestigious list of honour alumni.
