CYBERFIRST GIRLS COMPETITION

YEAR 8/9 SPANISH STUDENTS WISH THEIR PENPALS FELIZ NAVIDAD

The new Year 8 Computing Enrichment classes have spent the last half term working on Cyber Explorers where they have uncovered how digital, computing and cyber security skills are integral to successful career paths. They have also been learning skills to help them in the CyberFirst Competition which started on Monday and runs for 10 days. During this time they will be working in teams to solve various challenges both in lessons and in their own time. A number of teams were raring to get going and have already gained lots of points.

BOOKMARK COMPETITION Thank you to everyone who entered the LRC’s Design A Bookmark Competition. Well done to winners: Jasmine S, Lusi B, Elizabeth MM, Sophia S and Isabel J.

The CyberFirst Girls Competition is run by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), a part of the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). It aims to encourage more girls to consider Computer Science as an option at school and a career in cyber security. As we rely more and more on social media, online shopping and online services as part of our everyday lives, we need the right talent in place to protect us from online threats.

Highly commended entries were: Jemima L, Sofiya A and Sadie E.
