LEARNING EXPERIENCES OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM (LEOTC)

From time to time learners go on planned learning visits. These are part of units or topics of work.

 Parents will always be notified of these activities and cost factors will be given.

 Costs are always kept to a minimum and fund-raising is often done to keep these as low as possible.

Follow up activities after visits are always planned for and learners who do not go on class visits have their learning disadvantaged.

Please do not keep your child from attending a Learning Outside the Classroom Experience because of a home discipline issue.

 SCHOOL CAMPS

-Our Year 5 and 6 learners go on a School Camp.
This is an important part of the LEOTC aspect of the school curriculum. There is school expectation that all learners in Year 5 and 6 attend any school camp.

 The cost is approximately $180 and we encourage parents to budget for this cost from the beginning of each year. Parents can pay the fee on an easy pay system. Come into the school office and each payment will be receipted and carefully documented.

 Learners who do not attend camp will be severely disadvantaged as the school term's learning focuses before and after Camp revolve around the LEOTC camp.
