ICAS Assessments
Due to current restrictions, we are unable to run the ICAS Writing assessment on 12th October as scheduled. The sitting window for this assessment closes on Oct 15th and will not be extended, therefore Kalinda students will not be able to sit the test this year. I am waiting for advice from ICAS on how to obtain refunds.
Please note, we are not able to process any refunds through the school office as parents made payments directly to UNSW. If you have any questions, please visit the ICAS website or contact me through the school office.
At this stage, we are hopeful that the Maths assessment will be able to go ahead as the sitting window for that subject closes on November 26th. I will send out further information about rescheduling a date for Maths in the next couple of weeks.
