Tallong Campus

Watching students on camp provides the Tallong team with a whole array of feelings. The students take part in activities that are meaningful, that are memorable and at times can be challenging. The way they face these experiences is often inspiring for us as a team.

This was taken to another level in our first program with the NSW/ACT Guide Dogs Association two weeks ago. The group was comprised of 7- to 14-year-old children and their parents and carers in a program designed to provide life skills in a fun and interactive way. They made pizzas guided by a legally blind chef who was absolutely amazing in her mastery of Cheffrey’s kitchen, began their journey of using walking canes, got out on the water for some kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding and took on the challenges of the low ropes and initiative courses. The can-do attitude of all of the young people and their parents/carers cannot be understated and it was a privilege and a pleasure for all involved to see these truly inspiring people in action.

Happy Easter from the team at Tallong.
