Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC)
Section outline
- 
                    Staff handbook: EOTC / Trips Outside the SchoolStudents are exposed to a variety of appropriate EOTC experiences. All EOTC needs to be approved in advance by the Associate Principal. Bus hire can be arranged through the Accounts Administrator. The costs of trips will be calculated carefully and all money collected in advance unless specific arrangements are made with the Principal or Senior Leader with delegated responsibility for EOTC. It is the responsibility of the organising teacher to ensure all costs are covered/recovered. This includes the Field Allowance for overnight trips. Where possible the school car/van is to be used rather than teachers’ personal vehicles. It is very important that the EOTC Policy and Procedures in this regard are closely adhered to in order that safety and risk considerations are addressed. Please refer to the policy and procedures for further information and the required forms (see staff folder). EOTC documents (Activity Sheet and Risk Analysis Form) for trips outside the school must be approved at least TWO WEEKS before the trip.
