Parents and carers are warmly invited to our Year 5 Open Classroom morning on Friday 19 June from 8:45 AM - 9:30 AM.

ICAS 

This year, we are again pleased to offer our Year 5 and 6 students the opportunity to sit the ICAS English, Writing, Mathematics and Science Assessments. This is optional and parents are required to sign their son up. 

These challenging competitions present real-world scenarios where students are assessed on their ability to apply classroom learning to new contexts, using higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills. You can learn more about the ICAS Assessments at the following website: https://www.icasassessments.com/products-icas. 

Parents/carers are invited to register and pay for their son to participate in either or all assessments by completing the following: 

1. Go to the Parent Portal: https://shop.icasassessments.com/pages/pps 

2. Enter our school’s access code – FKS095 

3. Enter your child’s details, select the tests you would like to purchase, then proceed to payment. 

Registration and payment close on Monday 20 July 2026. 

After payment is made via the Parent Payment System you will receive an order confirmation email, please keep this for your records. ICAS assessments will be run before school (approximately 7:30 AM) over a number of days in Term 3.
