[Informatics] IT Competitions for High School Students

[ken price]

"Upskilling our students

The Government is funding national computing challenges for all Year 5 and
7 students as well as a national competition “Cracking the Code” which will
set various types of computing/coding challenges for Year 4 - 12 students.  A
computer science summer school for up to 60 Year 9 and 10 students will be
held annually, focusing on students who are underrepresented in STEM
subjects such as girls."

There is more information about the nature of this, but I'm not sure it is
released to the public yet. But it's worth watching for next year, I think.
