Within our school community there are students who shine brightly, displaying exemplary dedication and academic talent. They deserve to be recognised and this year we are giving them the opportunity to showcase and celebrate their talents in the world-renowned ICAS competition.

 

What is ICAS?  

ICAS is an online academic competition for Years 2-6 that gives students the opportunity to challenge their higher order thinking and problem-solving skills in English, Mathematics, Science, Writing (not Year 2), Spelling Bee, and Digital Technologies.

 

ICAS results are in-depth and meaningful, and ICAS evaluates student performance against other competition entrants across the state and nation. The data reveals student strengths and weaknesses and can help you recognise and support your child's academic journey.     Learn more about ICAS here: (icasassessments.com/products-icas/).
