Halcombe School is committed to providing exciting & challenging student camps and regular class trips
to enhance learning through a wide variety of first-hand experiences outside the classroom.

We provide Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC) to:

• give experiences which involve facing and overcoming challenges.

• increase children’s knowledge and awareness of places in New Zealand outside their immediate environment.

• develop children’s self management and organisation skills.

• develop children’s self confidence and sense of adventure.

• provide opportunities for children to enjoy the social and personal benefits of living and interacting with others in unfamiliar situations.

• help children develop responsibility, particularly towards their own safety and that of others.

Recent camps have been held at Nydia Bay (Marlborough Sounds), Turangi, Wellington Zoo and Sixtus Lodge (Ruahine Ranges) as well as "getting to know you" camps at school.

 

 

 

Comprehensive information about any camp or trip will be sent home well in advance of the event. There will be opportunities to fundraise to cover camp fees, and opportunities for parents/caregivers to be involved.
