The students practised essential outdoor skills \u2013 knots and lashings\u00a0\u2013 in preparation for one of the weekend\u2019s highlight activities: catapult building!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under our guidance, students worked in teams to master the techniques needed to construct sturdy and functional knots. These hands-on skills not only foster collaboration and problem-solving but also tie beautifully into the spirit of adventure and resilience that <em>St Dominic the Adventurer<\/em> aims to instil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tallong weekend will culminate in a special moment: the awarding of the <em>St Dominic the Adventurer<\/em> badge. This badge is a symbol of each student\u2019s growth, courage and commitment throughout the program. We are incredibly proud of our Year 4s and look forward to celebrating their achievements in the great outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Christopher Walker<\/strong><br>Coordinator of Outdoor Education &amp; Experiential Learning<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Tina Nicotina<\/strong><br>Religious Education Coordinator<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5622.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"1005\" data-id=\"18618\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5622.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5622.jpg 755w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5622-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5622-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5628.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"839\" height=\"629\" data-id=\"18620\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5628.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5628.jpg 839w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5628-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5628-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5628-145x109.jpg 145w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5628-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5628-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5628-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5632.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"605\" height=\"806\" data-id=\"18621\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5632.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5632.jpg 605w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5632-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5632-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5635.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"822\" height=\"617\" data-id=\"18619\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5635.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5635.jpg 822w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5635-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5635-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5635-145x109.jpg 145w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5635-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5635-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2025\/10\/IMG_5635-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 822px) 100vw, 822px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Wednesday, our Year 4 students gathered for their final St Dominic the Adventurer session before heading off to the much-anticipated Tallong weekend on Saturday 25 October.
