Last Friday the Senior Syndicate spend the day in Waihi exploring into mining. We spend time at the Newmont Education centre with Phillip panning for gold, making slide shows, finding facts and learning about underground mining.
We also went on a bus tour with Murray learning about tailing, the future of the mine and looking down at the open pit mine.
Our third activity was at the new Gold Discovery Centre where some students experienced drilling, entered the ghost theatre and spent time at the different displays around the centre.
