FORENSIC WORKSHOP NOVEMBER FORENCSIC WORKSHOP - NOVEMBER 29 

In week 8 next term Year 9 and 10 students will be participating in an Education Interactive workshop on Forensic Science. The workshop is called “A Case of Conspiracy” and promises to be an engaging learning experience.

WORKSHOP STORYLINE

A new drug dealer on the scene is found dead and foul play is suspected.

An 18-year-old boy is arrested for the murder which he claims to know nothing about. However, drugs, a gun and a stash of money were found at the home of the accused which all point to his guilt! This case highlights how the lure of drugs and easy money can lead to a web of deceit and betrayal. Students will examine and interpret the evidence which includes arson, DNA, and ballistic evidence.

EXPLORATION OF SOCIAL ISSUES

The incursion also covers serious social and community issues as an undertone to the storyline. This case discusses drug awareness and the impacts of hanging out with the wrong crowd. It is presented in a way to allow an open dialogue with students. 

More information will follow.
