ICAS

Dear IPS Families of Students in Years 3-6,

We know our students are amazing, so we’re giving them the opportunity to showcase and celebrate their talents in the world-renowned ICAS competition this year.

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 English, Mathematics, Science, Digital Technologies.

 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.

Please read the following sitting windows that each assessment is required to be conducted in. If your child is not going to be attending school during that window, do not enrol them in the assessment.

Your child’s ICAS certificates will be delivered to school. Once we have received them, we will present them to your child to bring home. 

The back of the certificate will show your child’s ICAS results and the login details, “TAP ID and Pin”. - Use these to enter the Results Portal orti.icasassessments.com/ortiStudent.
