The Dialogue provides school mine tours every year for primary and secondary students to highlight the impacts and benefits that arise from mining in the Upper Hunter.

---

The School Mine Tour Program is delivered in conjunction with industry and local schools allowing students and teachers to tour local mine and rehabilitation sites.

Since the Program was established in 2018, thousands of students have undertaken a tour.

The Program offers tours to students from all primary and secondary schools in the Muswellbrook, Singleton and Upper Hunter Shire school catchments.

The aim of the Program is to provide unbiased information about the impacts and benefits of mining in the Upper Hunter as part of the Dialogue’s role to foster communication between the mining industry and the community.

The School Mine Tour Program was developed by a Dialogue Working Group, made up of industry, community, education and local government representatives.
