ICAS

For 2019, UNSW has implemented some changes to their Global assessment tools, designed to meet the needs of the changing education landscape and to accelerate student’s growth to higher levels of achievement.

Mount View will continue to give students the opportunity to participate in the ICAS assessments (Reimagined for 2019). These tests will recognise academic excellence and reward student success through the achievement of medals and certificates.

There are a couple of noteworthy changes to ICAS, one being that it will move to online in 2019. All students in Year 3 – 6 will be using school or owned devices to complete these assessments. Please note: Year 3& 4 Writing – paper based. Another enhancement is results will be received within 4- 6 days (Year 3 & 4 writing 4-5 weeks).

All students in Years 3 – 6 are strongly encouraged to participate in the four core areas of English, Mathematics, Spelling and Writing, with Digital Technologies and Science being optional competitions. Please note these dates in your calendars. A compass payment for ICAS will be sent to parents over the next few weeks.
