The International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) are independent skills-based assessments with a competition element. ICAS are developed annually for primary and secondary school students in the subject areas of Computer Skills, English, Mathematics, Science, Spelling and Writing.
A new ICAS paper for each subject in each year level is developed annually by our team of subject matter experts. All papers are reviewed by experienced teachers to ensure that they accurately assess students' skills and are relevant to what they are learning at school.
ICAS are invigilated by teachers in schools under normal examination conditions. Administration Guidelines are provided with ICAS papers to ensure that the same conditions are afforded to all students sitting ICAS.
Over one million student entries are accepted from over 6,300 schools in Australia and New Zealand annually. In addition, students from over 20 countries including Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa and the USA participate in ICAS each year.
Bonville Public School has always encouraged student participation and proudly acknowledges the wonderful results our students achieve.
