Assistant Principals' Report

International Competition for Assessments for Schools (ICAS)

ICAS is a national competition that challenges students in different learning areas, including Reading, Maths and Digital Technologies.  It’s an opportunity for students to test their skills, think critically and apply what they’ve learned in new and creative ways.

We’re proud of all the students who chose to take on this challenge.  Participating in ICAS shows great commitment, persistence and a love of learning.  Whether it was solving tricky maths problems, interpreting complex reading passages or tackling digital technology challenges, each student demonstrated outstanding effort and determination.

A big congratulations to the following students who participated: Piper B, Monica D, Nevaeh R, Kaleb C, Aria G, Issy K, Peyton C, Summer M, Will B-W, Charlie S, Ava A, Addie J, Cadence A, Niran W, Aran W and Bonnie C.

A special mention to Niran in Year 5, who achieved a High Distinction in the Digital Technologies competition, placing him in the top 1% of participants nationwide.  An outstanding achievement.  Well done, Niran!
