The International Olympiad Informatics is the most prestigious computer science competition in the world for secondary school students. The 2019 IOI will be a week-long competition held in Baku, Azerbaijan. Training for the Olympiad will include a ten day training camp in Sydney over the Easter holidays and a pre-departure camp before leaving for Baku in early August. The lead supervisor and mentor of the New Zealand delegation this year - Logan Glasson - is another Burnside graduate who in the past achieved great results in this competition. The team was formed through a highly competitive selection process. Students were first identified from various competitions last year and invited to attend an intensive training camp in January. Through several competitions, starting at the camp and continuing through February and March, the 30 camp participants were narrowed down to the final team of four representing New Zealand.
