This Education Outside of the Classroom (EOTC) form is to request consent for your child to participate in EOTC events which occur during the course of a school day, on-site or in the local area, and at a low risk level. Example events include: cross country & triathlon (onsite), weeding or planting in our wetland area (not entering the water), day trips to local areas (excluding water based activities) - eg. tramping, sporting events (offsite), visiting the trout centre, library, fire station. These events will be managed according to the school’s safety management procedures for such events. Information will be communicated about these events but your consent will not be requested. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s participation at any time please do not hesitate to contact the school.
Where an event involves risk exposure greater than what would typically be the case at school, such as adventurous activities, hazardous environments, or the event continues overnight, specific consent will be required. At the time of our seeking any further consents you will also be asked to update the health and contact information held by school.
It is important that this form is completed at the start of the year for all ākonga who will be participating in EOTC events (as described above). Details on this form will remain confidential to school staff, contractors and volunteers associated with supervising activities on EOTC events. It is crucial that you provide us with up-to-date information, that is accurate and complete, to allow us to plan appropriately for EOTC.
Please ensure that ākonga details such as health information and emergency contacts are kept up to date with the school office during the year.
Please complete all sections of this form by Friday 23rd February.
If you have any questions, please contact me via the information below.
