It is time to start preparing for International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) examinations. These exams are an excellent opportunity for students to take part in an international competition that allows them to compare their skill and academic progress with other students across Australia and the world.
ICAS examinations provides a report document that compares individual student, cohort and school academic performance and progress over time in the areas of Writing for students in the primary and secondary years of schooling.
ICAS is the largest independent assessment program for schools in the world with more than 2 million entries annually. Students from over 20 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, Pacific and the USA actively participate in ICAS each year.
This year extra ATAR points will be available for HSC students that receive a High Distinction in any examination; this could provide up to an additional 6 ATAR points. We strongly encourage senior students to take advantage of this new scheme. The ICAS examinations are also highly recognised by all universities.
If you are interested in participating in these examinations please collect an entry form from the front office or see Ms Dykes in the English staffroom.
