From the Deputy Head of Junior School – Operations: ICAS Competitions

Reminder for Year 3 to 6 Families

We are pleased to advise that MLC School will be participating in the ICAS Assessments again this year.

ICAS is an online academic competition designed to challenge students’ higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills. Please note that it is not based on the NSW syllabus.

Whilst we offer all our Year 3 to 6 students the opportunity to participate in ICAS, the competition is not necessarily suitable for all students. Those wishing to engage in academically challenging, international assessment are encouraged to partake.

ICAS evaluates student performance against other competition entrants across the state and nation. All students who participate will be recognised with a printed certificate in each subject area completed and an online results report that identifies relative strengths and weaknesses. Top performers will also be eligible for medals.

Learn more about ICAS here.

MLC School has signed up for the ICAS Assessments parent payment system (PPS), which allows parents/carers to pay for ICAS directly online. The tests are conducted at school.

Cost per test: $21.95 (incl. GST) 

Please use this link to log into the shop and register your daughter by Friday 24 July. Take care when entering your daughter’s name into the system, as this is how it will appear on her certificate(s).

You can read the ICAS Assessments terms and conditions here.

We are excited to be offering ICAS to our students again this year and look forward to celebrating their achievements. Please do not hesitate to contact Junior School Reception or myself if you have any questions about this year’s ICAS competitions.
