Tallong Campus

Once again our superstar Cheffrey has surprised the Del Monte Year 3 teachers with a very special menu at the recent Year 3 camp at Tallong. With choices from slow roasted lamb shanks, mushroom and truffle infused risotto and grilled Atlantic salmon, the staff were spoiled for choice. Meanwhile, the Year 3 students had a choice of three different types of pasta and garlic bread for dinner. We are so grateful to the kitchen team for making these camp experiences so enjoyable for our staff and students.

While good food plays an important role in the success of the camp, it is also the hard work of the teaching staff and outdoor instructors that contributes to achieving the outcomes of learning to lead self, leading others and stewardship for the natural world. This week the Year 3 students were engaged in learning to ride mountain bikes, solving group problems through a process of planning, doing and reviewing and walking along barbers creek examining local fauna and flora. It was certainly an action packed 26 hours at Tallong for the Del Monte students and staff.

In the upcoming weeks the campus will host students from St Spyridon College, French speaking students from Lycee Condorcet and our very own student outdoor education leaders.
