Entry forms for the International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) for all students in years 3 - 6 are available here - ICAS 2014 Entry Form (pub 191 KB). These competitions provide an opportunity for students to gain a measure of their own achievement in an external assessment situation as well as providing an opportunity to gain experience and understanding of the various requirements of sitting for exams. This can only be of assistance when students are faced with other forms of external exams such as NAPLAN and the various end of year assessments in high school. It also provides teachers and parents with comprehensive reporting of results. All students receive a certificate and an individual student report indicating which questions they answered correctly, as well as the average mark for the state/region. If you would like your child to participate in any of the competitions, please complete the form and return to school with your payment by Friday 11 April.
