Camp

Every second year, Tōtara Team go on school camp. This means the children get to experience camp once during their time in Years 5&6.

Camp is an amazing, and for many, a once in a lifetime opportunity. Camp is an EOTC option offered at our school and is an important aspect of the Health & PE Curriculum.

Going on camp allows learners to challenge themselves to:

• Solve problems
• Make decisions and take managed risks
• Take responsibility
• Work as a member of a team
• Reflect on their own learning
• Develop new physical skills
• Develop their self confidence
• Develop new friendships
• Interact with, and care for, our environment in a range of situations

Camp also allows so much learning around the Key Competencies (Relating to Others; Thinking; Managing Self; Participating & Contributing; Using Language, Symbols & Text) - the most important part of the New Zealand Curriculum.
