Years 8-13 EOTC Week Information
This year Scots College is expanding on the ‘EOTC Week’ that was introduced in 2011. This week will take place in week 10 of this term (Saturday 31 March – Thursday 5 April).
The rationale for the week is to facilitate the development of the ‘all round man’ through experiential learning outside of the classroom. This reflects the MYP & IB Learner Profiles and the New Zealandcurriculum. By including all students and teachers in this week we minimise classroom disruptions.
The programme is divided into year levels.
