ICAS 2022

ICAS assessments are offered through the University of New South Wales (UNSW). They have been running for over 40 years and are available throughout Australia and overseas.

ICAS Assessments are online assessments, designed to recognise and reward academic excellence. Students are assessed on their ability to apply classroom learning to new contexts, using higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills. The assessments are based on the curricula for the relevant year. Students are asked to demonstrate a deeper, integrated, and thorough level of knowledge. Our team of expert academics develops new ICAS Assessments annually for each subject in every year level to ensure an engaging and beneficial experience for all students.

All competitors receive a certificate detailing their achievements as well as a comprehensive analysis of their test results.

NOTE: Not all ICAS assessments are available to all year levels.

Parents can select the subjects which they may wish their child to compete in, purchase past papers for practice and register and pay using the online parent payment system (PPS) which will become available using the access code that will be provided by our school as it becomes available.
