How do I apply?

If the Camp looks interesting to you, read around this website until you are sure that you understand what it is about.
When you have done this and if you have decided you have what it takes to do the Forensic Camp then it's time to something about it.

  1. Sit down with your parents and discuss it.
  2. Read again the 'How we select Campers' section of the website. This is vital.
  3. Prepare the, 'Why I want to come to the Camp' essay and the 'Academic Performance' summary. We want you to do this yourself because we will be evaluating what you say and how you say it as well as how you present it. These can be done in Word or any other word processing application ready for attaching to your email. (Please note that if you are using an unusual Word Processing Program OR the latest version of MSW ie Word 2007 (docx files) then please save your documents as RTF - select: FILE, SAVE AS, under the FORMAT window select RTF - many thanks).
  4. Approach an appropriate teacher and ask him/her to support your application. We would like his/her opinion as to whether or not you have the qualities that would allow you to benefit from the Camp. Ask your teacher to email a brief supporting note to our email address. Note; the teacher's supporting note is not obligatory but it will be helpful. If there are a number of applicants from your school, it will be acceptable if the teacher writes one note including the names of all those students he/she wishes to support and emails it to us.
  5. Email your application (ie the, 'Why I want to come to the Camp' essay and the 'Academic Performance' summary) to us (forensiccamps@bigpond.com). We will be sending you emails from time to time in the period before the Camp so if your application is being sent from a computer that you don’t generally use, please include your preferred email address in the text of your email. When we receive your application we will send you an email acknowledging its receipt. If you don’t get this within a week please resend your application.
  6. It is important that you name the attached documents so that we are able to find them among the 150-odd documents from other applicants, so ensure that your own surname is in the document name as shown below. The subject of the email must be named as shown in the example below (but only of course if your name is Brown!).

What happens after my application has been received?

  1. All applications will be assessed in the order that they are received.
  2. If the Camp Management forms the view that the applicant does have the qualities that will allow him/her to benefit from the Camp, the application will be accepted and an Application Acceptance Email will be sent.
  3. If insufficient information has been provided or if the Camp Management believes that the applicant has not presented him/her self as well as he/she could have, an email will be sent suggesting that the applicant may like to resubmit the application which then goes to the back of the queue.
  4. If, on the basis of the information provided or the manner of presentation, the Camp Management believes that the applicant is unlikely to benefit from the Camp, an email will be promptly sent notifying the rejection of the application.

What happens after my application has been accepted?

  1. Attached to your Acceptance Email will be an Excel document that we will use to collect all of the information that we need to have to run the Camp (personal details, medical details, travel details, your preference for your role in the court trials etc). Please enter all of the required information without delay and email it as an attachment to forensiccamps@bigpond.com. Its receipt will be promptly acknowledged by email so if you do not receive this please resend.
  2. Please send the payment of the Camp fees within ten (10) days of the dispatch of the Acceptance Email. Your place at the Camp will be held for this period. See |COSTS| for payment options.

About three to four weeks before the Camp, a copy of the Forensic Manual will be mailed to you.

Downloadable Documents

We have provided downloadable pdf copies of the documents that were mailed out to schools. You might like to print a copy and pass it on to someone you know who might be interested.
