Outdoor Education


We discover much about ourselves through exploring the outside world. Our staff are always looking at new and innovative ways of connecting the school's teaching and learning programmes to interesting and meaningful experiences outside the classroom. 

Education Outside The Classroom (EOTC) is a generic term used to describe curriculum-based learning and teaching that extends the four walls of the classroom and is a key component of secondary school life in New Zealand.

At Katikati College there is a wide range of exciting EOTC opportunities. Some of these include year group camps (Years 7,8,10 and 13), sports based trips and tournamnets (local, regional and national competitions), attending drama and music performances, curriculum and subject trips (e.g. art tris to Wellington/Auckland, surfing, paddle boarding, mountain biking trips, 4WD up Mt Tarawera and more.
