EOTC is curriculum-based teaching and learning that extends the four walls of the classroom.
At Akaroa Area School we believe that the utilisation of both our local and wider environment is an integral part of our student’s education. Learning outside the classroom has the potential to support learning in ways that are consistent with the vision, principles, values, key competencies and effective pedagogy statements in both the NZ Curriculum and the Akaroa Area School Charter. We aim to fully use our unique environment as a resource for schoolwide learning.
We require all our parent helpers to be police vetted so if you think you would like to get involved then please fill out the form below. Hard copies are available from the school office.
Our EOTC objectives are;
- To enrich the learning experiences of the students of Akaroa Area School through the utilisation of our local and wider environment as a resource for learning.
- To ensure the safety of all participants through robust and thorough practices.
- To ensure all participants (BOT, Principal, Providers, Staff and Students) are fully aware of, and comply with, their roles and responsibilities.
