ICAS – Celebrating Student Success

Congratulations to all students who participated in the highly challenging ICAS assessments last term. The University of New South Wales offers an International Competition and Assessment for Schools (ICAS) in English, Writing, Mathematics, Science, and Digital Technologies for students in Years 2 to 12. ICAS assessments have taken place annually in schools for over thirty years and in twenty countries. 

ICAS Assessments are designed to recognise academic excellence with students assessed on their ability to apply classroom learning to new contexts using higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills. 

Participation in the 2023 ICAS assessments was open to all Domremy students. All students who participated should feel proud of themselves for their efforts. Students who undertake the ICAS assessment are ranked based on their percentile in each year level across every participating state and country. 

We congratulate the following students who achieved exceptional results in this challenge, being awarded either a Distinction (Top 10% of students in Australia), Credit (the following 25% of students in Australia) or Merit Certificate (awarded to the next 10% of participants).

Students who achieved the higher-placed certificates outlined above will be presented with these at their next Year Assembly. The remaining ICAS Merit and Participation certificates will be distributed to homeroom teachers to present.
