Sharing with our students the love of the Earth, the importance of it and of resources which sustain our lives – by reading rocks, we understand how our Earth evolved and use the evidence to protect us into the future.

I first discovered CoRE through an internship at Curtin University, where I was introduced to their innovative approach to education. Drawn to their mission of bringing more hands-on, real-world learning into Australian classrooms, I continued my involvement as a volunteer, immersing myself in CoRE’s collaborative and inspiring culture.

Briony has had a long term interest in STEAM education, particularly for girls and nonbinary kids. The CoRE program attracted them because of the focus on business units that allows all students to use their strengths to learn and grow together.

I joined CoRE Learning Foundation because I believe in what they do in supporting our future workforce through experiential learning and building critical thinkers with human decision capability. The Pit to Pixel program gives students real-world exposure to how data drives operational, environmental, and leadership decisions, developing essential skills before entering the industry.

Adryl first got involved with Pit to Pixel as an industry volunteer at a drill-down day at Guildford Grammar School, where he saw how much Year 9 students engage when they work with real mining data and meet people from the industry. He joined CoRE because he is passionate about inspiring the next generation to explore careers in the resources sector and helping to build a strong future talent pipeline. In his role, Adryl coordinates between schools, teachers and industry volunteers to help bring Pit to Pixel to more classrooms across Western Australia.
