ICAS Assessments - Last Chance to Register
Over the last two years we have had to put a hold on offering ICAS assessments due to the flood and having a lack of space and at times unreliable internet. Now that we are nearly back to pre-flood conditions we can now offer the ICAS assessments to our students from Years 3 to Year 6.
ICAS is designed to target students’ higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills in English, Mathematics, Science, Writing, Spelling Bee and Digital Technologies.
ICAS Assessments are now online, a move that reflects a sector-wide transition to online assessments. This allows greater accessibility for students and faster delivery of results.

Our school has signed up for the ICAS Assessments parent payment system (PPS) for all tests. Through this system parents can pay for ICAS directly online while tests will still be held at our school. Please use the following details to register your child no later than Monday 3rd July 2023. After the closing data and once you have purchased the assessments you wish your child/ren to sit, I will send the permission note to you via Compass.
PLEASE NOTE that ALL ICAS assessments are online (including writing). Students who sit the writing test will need to be competent at typing.
