St Dominic the Adventurer Award @ Tallong

The final chapter of the St Dominic the Adventure Award was recently celebrated at Tallong. The students have been working on their Badges for Service, Skill and Prayer and the final St Dominic the Adventurer Badge. The students have participated in a number of different activities focusing on outdoor skills, community service skills and taken the time to appreciate the natural world around them on the Del Monte Campus by learning about the flora and fauna of the area.

The St Dominic the Adventurer Award has followed St Dominic’s adventurous spirit as he had travelled to spread his teaching but also spent time learning about the world around him. The Award aims to instill in students a caring approach toward their community and the natural environment, whilst learning important skills along the way.

During the final day at Tallong, the students learnt fire skills, practised problem solving skills and embarked on adventurous elements of the High Ropes Course. The day concluded with a remarkable ceremony around the fire as the students collected their badges.

Congratulations to all the students for their outstanding work throughout the program!
