Term 4 Professional Learning

Cyber Taipan

CyberTaipan is an Australian youth cyber defence competition. Throughout the competition rounds, teams of students are provided with a set of virtual images that represent different operating systems. Teams receive points for finding and fixing cyber security vulnerabilities, strengthening systems, and maintaining critical services. Teams compete for a chance to represent their school or community group in the CyberTaipan National Final. CyberTaipan is open to high school-aged students with an interest in — or willingness to learn about — cyber security, defensive countermeasures and securing virtual networks.

Bebras

Bebras is an international initiative aiming to promote Computer Science among school students at all ages. The Bebras challenge is open twice a year to Australian Students in Years 3-12, and engages students' computational thinking and problem solving skills in a fun, interactive environment. Last year, across Australia, over 54 thousand students took part in the challenge. Bonus!! There are a large number of printable and online resources you can use with students throughout the year to help develop their computational thinking skills. Find out more on the Digital Careers website.
