A ratio in EOTC is a relationship that shows the number of
experienced/ skilled supervisors compared to the number of
novices involved in an EOTC activity. For example:
Case 1
A kayaking trip on a grade 2 river involving:
- one instructor holding NZOIA Kayak 1 Award;
- one teacher with ten years of experience leading and participating
in kayak trips up to grade three;
- one parent with no experience;
- seven novice year 12 students.
The ratio is 1:4 (1 skilled supervisor per 4 novices). Note:
The parent is counted as a novice in this activity.
Case 2
A walk through the botanic gardens involving
- one teacher
- three parents
- 28 year 3 students
The ratio is 1:7 (1 adult supervisor per 7 students) or the
ratio could be 1: 9 (1 adult supervisor per 9 students with
the teacher remaining free to supervise the overall group).
Note: All parents are counted as supervisors in this activity.
