We know our students are amazing, so we are offering them the opportunity to showcase and celebrate their talents in the world-renowned ICAS competition this year.

  

What is ICAS?  

ICAS is an online academic competition that allows students to challenge their higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills in English (year 2-6), Mathematics (year 2-6), Science (year 2-6), Spelling (year 2-6) and Writing (year 3-6).

  

Every student who participates is celebrated and recognised with a printed certificate in each subject area, and an online results report to track development each year. Top performers are eligible for one of the highly coveted ICAS medals.

All assessments will be conducted online, at school, during August. We will notify you of the date(s) that we will run ICAS assessments, and when your child’s ICAS results are ready. Your child’s ICAS certificates will be delivered to the school. Once we have received them, we will present them to your child at assembly for them to bring home. The back of the certificate will show your child’s ICAS results and the login details, “TAP ID and Pin”. - You will be able to use these to enter the Results Portal
