International Competitions and Assessment for Schools (ICAS) Mathematics Results

Year 6 to 10 students sat the ICAS Mathematics Paper during Term Three. They are congratulated for their attitude and effort during the testing. The data collected, along with the NAPLAN results and our internal assessment, is used by staff to help develop the best possible teaching programmes for our students to achieve a sound and deep mathematical knowledge. For the first time this year students are being shown how to access their own results online. The detailed data allows them to reflect on their growth, specific areas of strength and weakness, the responsibility they are taking towards their own learning and what they, as individuals, could do to improve their learning.

Notably, we would like to congratulate John Charnley in Year 8 and Jerry Wu in Year 10, each of whom achieved a High Distinction. This result places these students in the top 1% of Mathematics students in the state in their age groups.

Distinctions, which place students in the next 10% in their respective age groups, were awarded to Jack Lewis and Angus Dohle in Year 7, Michael Crowle and Leyland Jones in Year 8 and Darcy Wall and Lachy Oliver in Year 10.
