ICAS Competitions 2024

SCEGGS students will again participate in the annual ICAS competitions this term. This year all students in Years 3 – 10 will participate in the English, Mathematics and Science competitions. These competitions provide an excellent opportunity for all students to experience challenge, cultivate critical thinking skills, engage with different types of questions, and enables deeper engagement with these subjects beyond the curriculum taught in class. Additionally, participation in ICAS will provide further feedback to teachers, parents and students about each girls’ areas of strength and areas for further improvement.  There is a cost of $20 per test which will be rechanged to your account.

ICAS tests will take place in class time at some point in the follow weeks this term:

• English during Week 4 (Monday 12 August – Friday 16 August)
• Science during Week 5 (Tuesday 20 August – Friday 24 August)
• Mathematics during Week 6 (Monday 26 August – Friday 30 August)

If you have any further questions about ICAS please feel free to contact either Cristi Wilsmore, Deputy Head, Teaching and Learning in the Primary School, or myself in the Secondary School.
