ICAS COMPETITIONS
ICAS Assessments are designed to recognise academic excellence. Students are assessed on their ability to apply classroom learning to new contexts, using higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills.
St John’s facilitates a number of these competitions in August and September. An email with further details has been sent to all families. This year we are trialling Parents to Purchase (PPS) directly from ICAS. Those students who have purchased papers will then be sitting the assessments here at school. Please click here for further details.
