About OresomeResources.com

Queensland Resources Council Minerals and Energy Education

The Queensland Resources Council (QRC) is a non-government organisation representing companies that have an interest in exploration, mining, minerals processing, gas and energy production. It is the resource industry’s main policy making body in Queensland working with all levels of Government, interest groups and the community.

In line with its long association and support for education, QRC has developed or sourced a suite of educational resources based on the minerals and energy sector.

These free resources can be accessed on-line at www.oresomeresources.com by all interested web users.

Our resources are aligned with the Queensland curriculum and have been developed by teachers for teachers to provide syllabus support to the key learning areas of Science, Maths, Technology and the Social Sciences.

To support teachers and students in the teaching and learning of the sector, QRC also offers an on-line and face-to-face Teacher Professional Development (TPD) Program.
This program is offered in many areas of the state and provides an opportunity for teachers and pre-service teachers to become familiar with the latest developed resources and teaching strategies which can be used to engage students in their learning of industry related topics.

To view all TPD workshops please see our calendar.
