This was an interesting way to challenge students to think critically and creatively through various multiple choice questions. ICAS is not just a test of facts and figures but more a test of how the brain works to problem solve. It is definitely a great way to show natural ability. The test is of a very high quality and students around the world sit the assessment. So many students commented after the English paper how interesting the passages were and how enjoyable it was!<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I look forward to some terrific results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Well done for taking up the challenge &#8211; you should be very proud of yourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2022\/08\/image_67203073.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4451 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2022\/08\/image_67203073.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a>Marist Oratory<b><\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Congratulations to the following students who represented Marist Sisters\u2019 this week in the 30th Annual Marist Schools Oratory Competition.
