Director of Outdoor Education, Tallong Campus

One of the best campsite teams around (I stay in 10 different ones per year across Australia).

What a great way to kick the year off at Tallong with some wonderful feedback like this!

Our first program for the year was the Canberra Brass band weekend retreat. The hills of Tallong were alive with the sound of brass band instruments as this community band were practising and rehearsing for an upcoming competition. As the coordinator was leaving she said, ‘we will definitely be back next year’.

Last week we hosted programs for Loreto Normanhurst and Roseville College with close to 370 people using the campus throughout the week. Some mixed weather made conditions challenging for the students but they all coped very well.

While driving out to our campsites earlier this year I came across a tree that had been hit by lightning, reminding me of the vast power of nature. We take risk management very seriously here at the campus and have strict lightning protocols in place should there be any around while we have students on the campus.

We are looking forward to a big term with programs in each week until April.
