Director of Tallong Campus

This week we welcome the Year 6 students from the College for their Year 6 Tallong experience. We have some warm days ahead, so a reminder for the Year 6 students to pack their hats and water bottles. This week we will have rangers from our local National Parks and Wildlife Service present some very engaging sessions as well as the usual Tallong highlights and some special meals created by our famous Cheffrey.

Over the past few weeks we have hosted programs for MLC Sydney, St Pats College in Campbelltown and SCECGS Redlands.  In the last week of term we will have Year 12 students from Marist College Canberra onsite doing their annual retreat. It really is wonderful to have a venue such as Tallong that is so versatile. Students from Year 3 through to Year 12 and numerous community groups utilise the facilities and the program design knowledge of the staff who work at our campus.

It is with great pleasure that I introduce Mr Steve Fox to our community. Steve will be our Tallong campus manager for the next 12 months. I will be travelling around Australia with my family in a camper trailer and will be returning in Term 4 of 2024. Steve brings a wonderful and diverse set of skills and experiences to the role and I feel very confident that our campus is in safe hands.

Just a reminder to any families thinking of attending the parent/child weekend in Term 4 at the Tallong campus. Our capacity is capped at 60 people for this weekend and places are filling up fast. The weekend is designed for Santa Sabina College parents and their children from Year 3 upwards on Saturday 11 November and Sunday 12 November. The charge of $345 per person includes food, accommodation and outdoor education activities. If you book four or more places, the fourth and subsequent places will be discounted by 50%.
