During Careers Week, our Year 9, 11 and 12 students had the incredible opportunity to visit the Roy Hill Integrated Remote Operations Centre.

They were fascinated by the diverse range of careers available across Mining, Technology and other exciting industries, opening their eyes to future possibilities.

I am interested in becoming an environmental scientist, and this experience opened my eyes to the many opportunities in mining related to environmental science.
– Kate, Year 12

Students observed employees controlling drones, automated trucks and automated trains in the Pilbara mine from their Perth base. Students also participated in activities involving robotics, mining processes, business scenarios and environmental management in VR.

Each student that attended received a ‘Gold Ticket’ which they can use in future job opportunities at Roy Hill group to advance their application.
This ticket serves as both an induction and a testament to their understanding of Roy Hill.

At the conclusion of the excursion, Careers & VET teacher Mrs Ganz spoke with several students who reflected on how their career interests could align with a future in mining.

“I thought it was fascinating. What stood out to me was the living quarters and the high-quality facilities available to mining workers on-site. I would love to become a chef and cook meals for everyone at the mine site,” said Year 12 student, Toby.

Year 12 student Kate shared, “I am interested in becoming an environmental scientist, and this experience opened my eyes to the many opportunities in mining related to environmental science.”
