With the help of Services Australia's Cyber Security Division, a group of year 12 Lake Tuggeranong College students have written a cyber-attack training package that will be part of the school's curriculum from 2021.
Teenagers studying year 12 across the country have had it tough this year. But a group of inspiring students from Lake Tuggeranong College have left their legacy for future generations of cyber experts.
Five students, with the help of their teacher and a team of cyber security professionals from Services Australia, are developing a cyber attack training package. This will be part of the college's curriculum from 2021.
For the last three years, Lake Tuggeranong College students have participated in the agency's Cyber Services Division work experience program.
The collaboration is an important investment in the country's future cyber resilience and the students' personal and academic development.
In a year like no other, the agency and college worked together to develop this project, as an alternative program for this year due to coronavirus restrictions.
Thanks to this partnership, Lake Tuggeranong College was able to offer the project as an extracurricular activity outside of regular classes.
The project supports the students understanding of cyber security as a career choice, and equips them with skills for the future.
