Director of Outdoor Education, Tallong Campus

Autumn at the Tallong campus is a season that feels like a gentle exhale. As the long days of summer fade, the region slows into a rhythm of crisp mornings, golden afternoons, and cool, star-filled nights. It is a time when the landscape in the southern highlands transforms into a patchwork of colour, delighting locals and visitors alike.

For our students, autumn brings a fresh focus. The cooler weather is perfect for outdoor education activities without the heat of summer. It is a season that encourages reflection, learning and community. This term will see our Years 3/4/5 camps and Year 11 retreat take place at the campus. Pack your thermals and beanies!

This week we welcome 140 Year 5 students from Canberra Grammar School who will be camping out for a night and spending one night in cabins.

I’d also like to remind folk about the community event ‘Veritas in the Valley’ taking place at the campus on 23 and 24 May 2026.

Find more information here, including the weekend’s program and the link to book.
