Icas Final 2024
Dear Parents/Caregivers,
Students in Years 4 to 6 are able to participate in ICAS competitions in 2024, providing the opportunity for students
to gain a measure of their own achievements in an external assessment situation.
These are COMPETITION events to be held under test conditions.
ICAS WILL BE SAT ON THE SITTING DATE AFTER SCHOOL HOURS (3:30pm until 4:30pm).
If you know in advance that your child will not be present after school on the sitting date, please DO NOT
register.
No late registrations will be accepted and no refunds under any circumstances.
These are voluntary and should only be entered after consultation and agreement between the
parents/caregivers and the child.
ICAS competitions will be completed online for Years 4-6 only. Students will need access to their Chromebook
(charged). ICAS tests cannot be sat after the sitting window.
The ICAS assessments are designed to assess the student’s ability to apply classroom learning in new contexts,
using higher-order thinking and problem solving skills. They are designed to recognise and reward academic
excellence. Students are asked to demonstrate a deeper, integrated and thorough level of learning. There is an
emphasis on challenge and extension for the most able students under time restrictions. Further information
about ICAS is available at https://www.icasassessments.com
All students receive a certificate of achievement and performance information and have an opportunity to
win medals.
COST: $20 per test per student. Payment is required at time of completion of the permission slip. Please remember
to return to the slip after payment to press submit. As this is an extra-curricular activity, it is not included in the
2024 excursion programme invoice.
