25.01.2022 Congratulations to our two Kent Street Senior High School CoRE ANSTO Hackathon Teams, who both placed in the top 6 teams out of 36 competing across Australia, including 2nd place! A special thanks to their inspirational leaders,Kathleen Booth and Stephanie Claire, who has been with students on their CoRE learning journey for the last 3-4 years. In Kathleen’s words It was their CoRE learning which helped them plan, navigate, problem solve and create their solutions to the hac...kathon competition. This is an outstanding national achievement and a credit to students’ motivation and work ethic and awareness of the need to be positive social and environmental citizens of our future world. Kent St CoRE is the CoRE Learning Foundation’s lighthouse school and this achievement is a testament to a legacy of contemporary #STEMLearning, which has been at the heart of its development and evolution for the last 15 years. CoRE is ‘for the students by the students’, and like the students before them, these champions will confidently follow their passions and aspirations as they work towards their future careers.

24.01.2022 An interesting read.. too good not to share!. #therealclassroom #corelearning

23.01.2022 The real classroom is in full swing! Last week, Tom Price Senior High School CoRE students embarked on three separate field trips to Karijini National Park. Year 7’s visited Weano Gorge to explore interactions between Earth’s spheres. Students paid special attention to the water cycle and the chemistry of solutions, in addition to geological processes and the unique biology of the Pilbara. Year 8’s studied earth processes involved in sedimentation, volcanism, and metamorphis...m. Students were immersed in the rock cycle as represented by the Archaean geology of the Fortescue and Hammersley groups. Similarly, Year 9’s examined ancient and contemporary geological processes to examine the broad-scale effects of plate tectonics. They will go on the apply this knowledge when designing their own exoplanet, complete with plate tectonics and life. #therealclassroom #futureleaders #STEMLearning #CoRE

16.01.2022 North Tom Price Primary School and Hedland Senior High School CoRE are going interstellar for their first PBL’s of 2021. North Tom Price Primary students are studying planets and investigating the damage caused by a meteorite impacting Earth. Acting as researchers, students need to find out how much damage will be done so they can organise the evacuation of populated areas. The sooner they know the better! Hedland CoRE students are investigating the factors involved in terraf...orming Mars. Year 7, 8, and 9 students are studying the Pilbara landscape and how it relates to the formation of landforms on Mars. Students are researching the Pilbara’s famous stromatolites and iron ore deposits. In year 10, students are investigating the building of life support structures and infrastructure on Mars. Furthermore, they will look at how humanity might change as we travel from Earth and expand into space. Exciting things are happening in the Pilbara! Watch this space. #therealclassroom #STEMLearning #CoRELearningFoundation

16.01.2022 Always Was, Always Will Be. Happy National NAIDOC Week celebrations! At CoRE, an integral component of our multifaceted program is the inclusion of Aboriginal culture, engineering and science. From years 5-10, students can engage in discovering Aboriginal stories, language and technology. #NAIDOC2020 #futureleaders #therealclassroom #GirlsInSTEM

14.01.2022 Our first Tom Price Senior High School CoRE Hub Showcase was packed, brilliantly adhering to COVID requirements For the CoRE Learning Foundation, it was our first event that demonstrated our vision of CoRE Talent Pipeline - from year 5 through to year 9. In 3 years it will be to year 12 in 3 years The hall was packed with energised students sharing their work with proud parents and members from the Ashburton Shire Community. The student speeches beamed with their pride in... their CoRE education and the fun they have experienced in #therealclassroom from Year 5 Ryley from Tom Price Primary: "This year I have learned a lot about science in CoRE. It is a very fun subject. We have been building trains with electric circuits this term. I like working in teams on the project and helping our classmates. At first, we had to learn a lot about getting along but now we get along and work hard." This statement tugs at the essence of CoRE, it is a collaborative and inclusive learning environment which enables all our students to develop their STEM skills and achievement and most importantly within their relevant environment, so they can develop an understanding of their learning. This is a unique situation where the primary schools provide the students with the skilling and then in high school, they will be extended. Next year we welcome Paraburdoo Primary to this hub. We would like to thank our key sponsor Downer Group for supporting this event. #therealclassroom #CoREshowcase #CoRELearningModel #CoreExpansion #handsonlearning

13.01.2022 Using the CoRE Learning Model we empower our educators to be the key element of our growth and sustainability, as they are the ones which make a difference to our students.

09.01.2022 To ensure that STEM Learning is maintained and evolved, CoRE Educators must be leaders. CoRE Educators embrace the learning model, they evolve and customise it, and it is they who engage the students and get the best out of them. Every so often we will be highlighting the incredible work of CoRE Educators in this Educator Interview series! Our first is with Brigitta Ryan, Year 5 and 6 Teacher at Tom Price Primary School. Below is a preview of the interview. To read it in full... head to https://tinyurl.com/y569w4tj Brigitta, what do you find are the benefits of the CoRE Learning Model? I have found the CoRE Learning Model to be flexible and adaptable, which has allowed us to customise each PBL to ensure it is accessible for our students. This has then increased student involvement, curiosity, and the thirstiness to delve deeper, expand thinking, and ask more complex questions. What results and changes have you seen in your students’ learning? Students have become more inventive and curious to find out more. They aren’t just relying on a teacher for answers, which is a more traditional way of seeking information, they are becoming more proactive, by using their initiative and inquiry skills, to expand their knowledge and thinking. #futureleaders #CoRE #therealclassroom

09.01.2022 Showcasing to industry, government representatives and parents are the skills, talents and career awareness developed through the CoRE Learning Model by our CoRE students. The CoRE Learning Foundation invite you to join CoRE students, Educators and the CoRE Learning Foundation Team on Wednesday 2nd of December 2020 from 5.30 pm at the CORE Innovation Hub, Perth. The CoRE Learning Model caters for the diverse learning needs of students; integrating a STEAM project-based learn...ing format, which focuses on exploring, and using technological advances which reflect Western Australia's burgeoning industries. CoRE Learning supports students in the development of their 21st century social and emotional STEAM skills. CoRE’s aim is to provide students with relevant, meaningful, integrated STEAM curriculum, and through CoRE education, students develop a significant awareness of career pathways and links to industry associated with the talent pipeline for our future. The aim of this event is to demonstrate CoRE students current works and achievements from the Lighthouse School - Kent Street Senior High School and the new Metro school - Joseph Banks Secondary College, whilst bringing together our varied network of educators to share their CoRE Learning Journeys as they engage and encourage students to explore #therealclassroom Industry, community groups. parents and educators are encouraged to attend to discover the many elements of our unique program and the ways they can benefit and/or contribute to the CoRE Expansion.

09.01.2022 CoRE Learning Foundation would like to wish students a safe return to school following last week in lockdown. Many non-metro schools will be entering their second week of term 1. Schools such as Hedland Senior High School will soon be kicking off their exciting new 2021 PBL projects. Hedland’s students will examine the Pilbara environment and explore the factors involved in terraforming #Mars. This includes looking at the technology of the #MarsRover, assessing ancient microbial fossils and designing infrastructure for a potential future colony on Mars. Here’s to a prosperous 2021!

07.01.2022 The CoRE Learning Foundation welcomes to the family our new Champion School for the Wheatbelt, Merredin College. Merredin CoRE was launched over the first 2 weeks of Term 1 with great success. The CoRE Learning Model has been introduced to Years 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10, consisting of 115 students and 3 educators and they have hit the ground running! Two field trips have already taken place seeing Year 5 and 6 students explore local bushland in the hopes of studying the Mallee Fowl..., a native and ubiquitous species of the Wheatbelt. Fortunately, students had the opportunity to visit a brilliant example of a Mallee Fowl mound. Year 7 and 8 students visited Narnkeening Gnamma holes in the effort to draw connections between the rock cycle, the diagnostic granite outcrops of the Wheatbelt, and the Aboriginal Australian engineered gnamma holes. Students discovered how essential these holes were for Aboriginal Australians as they migrated across the Wheatbelt region with changing seasons. #CoRELearning #STEMLearning #therealclassroom Ramelius Resources

05.01.2022 Our CoRE Lead powerhouse, Suzy Urbaniak, has been busy visiting schools which have implemented the CoRE program throughout the Wheatbelt and Goldfields regions: * Merredin College --> Assisting educators set up relevant student projects ready for a running-start in 2021. * Coolgardie Primary --> Facilitating a fieldtrip to Karalee Rocks for our youngest CoRE students, investigating the geological and cultural significance of #Gnammaholes ... Suzy is now on the road heading further south to Norseman District High School, for more CoRE-educator professional development, creating a sustainable cycle of peer-to-peer empowerment! Student and educator life-long-learning, this is the CoRE difference. #therealclassroom

04.01.2022 Liz Dallimore is a Data Scientist from WA Data Science Innovation Hub. What’s your superpower?? Last week at Hedland Senior High School, Liz helped empower our South Hedland and Tom Price Senior High School CoRE Educators with data science for application to our CoRE PBL projects. This means creating a longitudinal data science strategy to have a lasting impact on PBL designs toward and beyond 2030. In doing so, we are empowering our educators to deliver meaningful learning experiences. We look forward to seeing where these projects take us! #PilbaraCoRE #CoRELearning #datascience #dataliteracy #therealclassroom

04.01.2022 This week we again had the pleasure of working with Liz Dallimore from WA Data Science Innovation Hub (WADSIH), to get a better grasp of the Data Science world that lays ahead. CoRE and WADSIH are partnering to ensure STEM projects from year 5 to 10 students are #realworldlearning, giving students a realistic awareness of future career pathways. We know Western Australia is uniquely positioned to gain science data from industries such as resources, agriculture, space, and h...ealth, and our CoRE Educators’ focus on data literacy ensures that our students are well positioned to comment on and understand these as they develop. Our collaboration with WADSIH is unique and forward thinking. Together we are ‘Supporting today's youth for tomorrow's world’. Not everyone has to be a data scientist, but they should have a high level of data literacy as a key capability for building future careers beyond 2025!

01.01.2022 Last week, Kent Street Senior High School CoRE Alumni of 2016, 2017 and 2018: Gladella, Lee-an and Ryan, all studying Applied Geology at Curtin University, attended the world's only (known) currently running, geological field trip. The students built on their knowledge of #therealclassroom whilst mapping the Archean greenstone lithology of Mt Hunt in Kalgoorlie. Here's what they had to say: "I always knew when I started studying geology that at some point, I was going to ...have to go out into the field in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people. This may not seem like such a big deal, but for someone with a boatload of mental health issues, this was a massive thing to me. This field trip taught me the importance of adapting and adjusting your theoretical knowledge when things aren’t so clear and pretty in the field. I also learnt that not everyone is as scary as they seem and that it’s okay to reach out for help from your teachers and peers. The field trip was extremely helpful for me academically and personally." - Gladella Ulep, 2016 CoRE Alumni "The field trip was an eye-opening experience in that not all rocks in the real world look like the pretty, easily recognisable rocks from your textbooks. I'm grateful for our unit coordinators who worked hard to make this opportunity possible for us." - Lee-an Lu, 2017 CoRE Alumni "The field trip was challenging, but a massive step in progressing forward towards becoming a geologist. The days were long, geology was complex, and the rocks barely looked like anything out of a textbook. Using the skills acquired from CoRE and working in #therealclassroom I felt I was able to work at a high standard and excel in areas where others who have not been part of CoRE may have struggled." - Ryan Wade, 2018 CoRE Alumni WA School of Mines Alumni Chevron Australian Geoscience Council Saracen Mineral Holdings
