ICAS

We are once again offering students in Years 3 to 6 the chance to participate in the ICAS academic competition. This is an internationally recognised program that provides students with additional opportunities to display their knowledge, skills and confidence across several areas of the Victorian Curriculum. 

ICAS is an optional program that gives you the freedom to choose which assessments your child participates in. Below is a summary of the competition, directions for registration and pricing information for those interested in participating.
