This year we are offering the option for all students in Years 4 to 8 to participate in ICAS (International Competitions and Assessments for Schools). ICAS provides an opportunity for all Year 4 – 8 students to gain a measure of their own achievement in an external testing situation. These assessments are suitable for students who show particular strengths in these areas.  Please note that some content might not have been covered in class. Students can choose to do one or more tests, they do not need to sit all assessments, as they may not be equally confident across these curriculum areas.

High-quality UNSW (University of New South Wales) certificates are awarded for each year level as follows:
High Distinction to the top 1% of entrants from the region
Distinction to the next 10% of entrants from the region
Credit to the next 25% of entrants from the region
Merit to the next 10% of entrants from the region
Participation to all other entrants

A reminder that entries and payment for ICAS Tests are due by Friday, June 7. Payment must be received before your child/children will be entered. This closing date allows our school to manage the registration and administration of these tests.

Tests are administered on the following dates. There will be a catch-up day for those who are absent.
