Developing young people
Tallong, in the Southern Highlands of NSW, is the Outdoor Education & Retreat Centre of Santa Sabina College. The 97-hectare campus provides comfortable accommodation and on-site catering for up to 175 guests. Tallong offers indoor and outdoor facilities and professional staff for adventure training in the natural world, quality educational experiences and conferences. Programs are designed and delivered by expert staff for the students and staff of Santa Sabina as well as for other groups including schools.
Student-centred, experiential learning in these programs seeks to support participants to know themselves more fully, to develop resilience and foster an expansive view of our world as individuals in community.
The Tallong campus contributes to the Mission of Santa Sabina College, an Independent Catholic school in the Dominican tradition, by helping to develop students who will ‘shake the world.’
We do this through building self-awareness and efficacy, helping students learn creative problem-solving methodologies and by developing young people who become stewards of our natural world.
As stewards of this land at Tallong we acknowledge the original owners, the Wodi Wodi people, and seek to engage in an educational partnership, which recognises our responsibility as current custodians. The natural setting of Tallong Campus provides an environment that enables visitors to engage fully in spiritual and personal reflection; a retreat and refuge, a place that fosters growth and aims to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment where contemplation is valued.
Tallong Campus is two hours drive from Sydney and 1.5 hours from Canberra.
Tallong railway station is two kilometres from the Campus.
