CoRE Resource Challenge
On Tuesday the 17 of June 2025, Year 5 and 6 students from North Tom Price and Tom Price primary schools attended the CORE resource challenge at the high school. The event brings together the concept's students have been learning about into a day of practical, hands-on activities. Each of our teams were supported by high school students and special guests from Rio Tinto to work collaboratively to plan and build models of the processes undertaken in the mining industry. The students thoroughly enjoyed the team building, practical and hands-on activities of the day. On behalf of the students, we would like to thank Mrs Aben for organising a great experience.

During the visit our students had the opportunity to practice their signing skills, ask questions and learn about deaf culture. Naomi appears on some of the online lessons that the students learn form and was treated like a celebrity by our students. The team were so proud of our students progress an grateful for how well the language has been received within our school community.
