Director of Tallong Campus

Last week at Tallong we were delighted to host our Year 4 students from Del Monte. These students participated in a range of activities that included mountain biking, flying fox, campcraft sessions and, for the first time in the history of the Tallong campus for a Year 4 program, Abseiling!

At the base of the campus we have a seven-metre cliff which hovers just above Barbers Creek. These brave Year 4 students walked backwards down the cliff using ropes and friction devices and onto a platform that sits within the creek. While the activity is essentially very safe it is the perceived risk that challenges and energises the students into pushing towards the edge of their comfort zones. It was truly rewarding seeing our Year 4 students manage their fear and overcome it.
