2020 International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS)

Dear Parents / Carers,

Entries are now open for the 2020 ICAS for students in Grades 3 to 6. Assessments will be held for English, Mathematics & Science and all participants will receive an achievement certificate and an individual student report within several weeks of each test.

Participation in these assessment tasks is by choice, but in deciding whether or not your child should sit any or all of the assessments please be aware that they are of quite a high standard. The school does not use the information from the results to inform its programming as the sample is not large enough

ICAS Science              Term 3 Week 5

ICAS English               Term 3 Week 6

ICAS Mathematics     Term 3 Week 7

 

Cost per test: $15.95 including GST

If you would like your child to participate in any of the subjects listed above, please visit the new online Parent Payment System to make a direct payment to UNSW Global. The Parent Payment System is a simple and secure online payment service specifically for parents to purchase ICAS Assessments.
