The National Computer Science School (NCSS) is a ten-day summer school for students going into years 11 and 12. NCSS brings together talented young people from around Australia for an intensive course in computer programming and website development in the School of Computer Science at the University of Sydney. The programme runs in early January. NCSS has been offered in various formats since 1996, when it was initiated by the University's Foundation for Information Technology. In 2015 NCSS celebrated 20 years of the programme. NCSS is organised by the Australian Computing Academy at the University of Sydney. The school is completely residential, with all students staying with NCSS staff in full-board accommodation provided by The Women's College, within the main Camperdown campus of The University of Sydney. The cost of NCSS is heavily subsidised by sponsors, allowing them to make the cost per student approximately $440 in 2018. For more information visit the official website at  http://www.ncss.edu.au/
