Director of Outdoor Education, Tallong Campus

I am always surprised by the diversity of clients we see at the Tallong campus. During the recent non-term time the campus hosted retreats from both the Ministry of Nirvana Organisation and the Chabad youth organisation. The Ministry of NIrvana is a not-for-profit charity organisation dedicated to providing services that enhance mental health and wellbeing for all. Approximately 40 adults participated in the weekend retreat and another one has been booked for later in the year. The following week we then hosted a retreat for 50 students from the Chabad youth organisation. Chabad Youth NSW’s Camp Gan Yisroel offers an immersive camp experience that combines fun activities with learning and traditions, providing young people with unforgettable memories and a deeper connection to their heritage.

At the core of the above is education and self development. This term the campus will deliver experiences and programs for the following clients in addition to our own students: Hills Grammar, MLC Burwood, Gib Gate (Frensham), Emmanuel College, Canberra Grammar and Marist College Canberra.

We are also beginning the advertising for the annual Santa Sabina Parent Child camp. This year it will be held on the weekend of 20-21 September. More details will be forthcoming however this year we are looking to incorporate some more adventurous exploration activities on the campus and of course Cheffrey will be putting something special together for the Saturday dinner.

Hopefully we will see a few more new faces from the College at Tallong this year.
