National Computer Science School (NCSS) Challenge

The University of NSW has been running a programming competition for secondary school students in Australia for the last nine years. This competition, known as the NCSS competition has excellent standing amongst people in the field and is hence sponsored by Google, WiseTech and Optus to name a few. This is our third year participating in the competition and we have had an outstanding result in 2014. For the first time, we have had successful entries in the advanced and intermediate categories. Almost all of the boys completed the competition successfully with many receiving a merit, credit or distinction award. We congratulate all those boys for their fantastic effort. There were six awards for boys who received a high distinction or perfect score in their category.
