International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS)

Once again, Hillsmeade PS is excited to offer the ICAS competition to our students. We encourage families to talk with their children about ICAS and determine if they would like to take part in this world-renowned competition.

What is ICAS?  

ICAS is an online academic competition that gives students the opportunity to challenge their higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills in subject areas such as English, Mathematics, Science and Writing.

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/).

ICAS results and certificate. 

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.

Your child’s ICAS certificates will show their results and the login details, “TAP ID and Pin”. Use these to enter the Results Portal (https://orti.icasassessments.com/ortiStudent).
