Director of Outdoor Education, Tallong Campus

Well winter has finally hit the Tallong campus, however it was disappointing that we were not able to run our Year 5 camp last week. The campus received a large volume of rain which has filled the water tanks after a dry period. Our Year 5 camp has been rescheduled for Term 3 and we are optimistic it will go ahead. 

The Year 4 camp was held a couple of weeks ago and we had a lovely group of students embarking on micro adventures all over the campus. The pinnacle of the Year 4 camp is the challenge of the flying fox. Students undertake this through a lens of challenge by choice with students choosing their level of challenge. Once again a huge thank you to the Year 4 teaching team and Mr Chris Walker for the design and delivery of such a smooth program.

This week we welcome our Year 3 students from Del Monte for their first overnight experience to the campus. Pack your beanies and gloves! Next week we host students from Hills Grammar for a three-day camp.

We are also in the final stages of preparing and planning for the inaugural Year 9 Winter Academy which will take place during the first three weeks of term 3. Exciting times ahead!
