Focus on Mining

The Focus on Mining Camps are five-day residential camps for high school students to experience what it’s like to study and work in the mining industry in WA. Students will get to tour mine sites, participate in hands-on workshops and meet industry leaders.  The program targets students in Year 11 or 12 who have an interest in science or engineering, and would like an introduction to the mining and resources sector.

Students from throughout WA are welcome to apply and support is available for regional students to take part.

The camp is free with all travel, meals and accommodation provided thanks to the support of Northern Star Resources and the WA School of Mines.
