Exciting times at Tallong this week. Our Year 11s arrive for their end of term retreat and the Wodi Wodi building has new carpet and a new kitchen!! As the old carpet was ripped up a couple of weeks ago I was reflecting on just how many students and staff feet have walked upon that carpet. Given on average Tallong hosts up to 10,000 participant days a year and the carpet is well over 30 years old that means that some 600,000 feet have walked upon that carpet…I think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps many of you are not aware that the Tallong campus was opened in 1983 by Australian entrepreneur Dick Smith AC and began its life as a youth at risk program whereby over a number of weeks young people would embark on a program designed to rehabilitate and course correct. The Tallong campus was called the Merle Hurcomb Wilderness Centre back then and while the client group today may be a different mix, all are entitled to benefit from the sense of space that is Tallong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
