ICAS

During Term 3, several students from Year 3 to 6 were given the opportunity to participate in ICAS Assessments.

ICAS stands for International Competitions and Assessments for Schools, which is a global academic assessment program for students in primary and secondary school. It consists of annual online competitions in subjects like English, Mathematics, Science, Writing, Spelling, and Digital Technologies that challenge higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills. The assessments are used worldwide to benchmark student achievement and are often used to recognise academic excellence.
