LAST CALL – Academic enrichment Years 7-10 – ICAS

This year students in the Senior School will have the opportunity to again participate in a range of subject specific competitions run by ICAS. ICAS is a school competition that inspires, celebrates and challenges millions of school students across Australia, New Zealand and the world. The competition questions are set in modern, real-world scenarios where school students are assessed on their ability to apply classroom learning to new contexts, using higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills. The tests are in the following subject areas, Mathematics, Science, English and Digital Technologies. Each test runs for approximately 1 period and will take place in Term 3 during class time. Students can choose if they would like to sit any or all of these.

This is an optional assessment that has a fee associated. Registration and payment are made directly through the ICAS website’s Parent Portal
https://shop.icasassessments.com/pages/pps with the CODE: ZMP800. The closing date for registration and payment is 29 July.
