Our ICAS Competitions begin next week. To ensure we are prepared, we ask that any student in Years 5 to 11 who is enrolled to sit the ICAS Writing Competition follow the instructions to download the secured locked-down browser on their device. For all other competitions, students can simply type in the access address.
A reminder that tests are completed in the following order:
Week 3: ICAS Writing Competition
Week 4: ICAS English Competition
Week 5: ICAS Science Competition
Week 6: ICAS Mathematics Competition
More information on the specific days or lessons when these tests will be conducted will be shared in the SCAS Express each week prior to the competition.
Should your child want to familiarise themself with the test platform and types of questions, you can view sample tests on the ICAS website. Past papers can also be accessed through the ICAS website at a cost.
Should your child be absent, please ensure you have made contact with the Primary Director of Teaching and Learning, Mrs Sarah Jones (s.jones@scas.nsw.edu.au), to organise an alternate test time within the week. As per the testing regulation, if your child is absent for the entire week, they cannot complete the test.
