YEAR 8: TAS Forensic Science Camp 4-8 July 2023

TAS Forensic Science Camp 4-8 July, 2023

We would like to offer your Year 8 students (in 2023) an opportunity to participate in the 2023 Talented Students’ Forensic Science Camp. This year, places are limited and are filling fast. Applications will close in early June which is just more than a month away, so students need to apply as soon as possible.

The camp, which will be held at The Armidale School from Tuesday 4 July - Saturday 8 July 2023, is one of the state’s pre-eminent extension programs for Year 8 students. It offers challenging and hands-on experiences of scientific problem-solving and a chance to work with talented students from all over Australia.

As compelling as CSI, as challenging as The Mentalist and addictive as Law & Order, the Camp brings the intrigue of these television shows to the fingertips of young Australians. No one can resist a 'whodunit' and that is what this Forensic Science Camp is all about. It’s fast and exciting with total immersion in the crime-solving process.

Run by The Armidale School as a boarding experience, the annual Forensic Science Camp was first held in 1994 and attracted widespread interest after it was featured on the ABC TV science program, Quantum. During most years, over 100 boys and girls, a mix of city and country students from both government and non-government schools were selected from a large number of applicants from NSW, the ACT, Queensland and Victoria to participate in the camp. The camp fills a niche for students looking to be academically challenged and appeals to all enthusiastic and highly capable students.
