ICAS assessments

International Competitions and Assessments for Schools.(ICAS)

IPS are delighted to inform you that we will, once again, be participating in the world-renowned ICAS Assessments this year. ICAS is developed by UNSW Global, a wholly owned subsidiary of UNSW Sydney, with over 35 years’ experience in educational assessments.

ICAS will return to Ivanhoe Primary School this year.We encourage you to consider entering your child in ICAS. 

This fantastic assessment program allows students to challenge themselves and be recognised for their academic efforts. 

The assessments are  conducted fully online and sitting dates will commence in Term 3.

Enrolments close July 17th.

ICAS is designed to target students’ higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills in English, Mathematics, Science, Writing, Spelling and Digital Technologies. 

Each assessment celebrates students’ accomplishments by providing opportunities for recognition. Every student will receive a printed certificate and an online result report. Top performers will be eligible for medals and may be invited to attend special award ceremonies to have their academic excellence publicly recognised. 

The assessments are suitable for students wishing to extend themselves academically and take up the personal challenge of competing in an international assessment. Your child will be presented with high-quality, expert-developed questions, allowing them to apply their learning without the need for prior study or revision.
