Last year, students in our Excellence Programs, as well as any other students who wished to be involved, completed ICAS assessments in a variety of subjects.  Unfortunately, the results and certificates for these did not arrive until the end of the year and we were unable to present these until this year. 

Our students sat assessments in Science, Mathematics, English and Digital Technologies and are to be congratulated on the way that they approached participating in these assessments; all were highly engaged and demonstrated great perseverance.

Students were presented with their participation certificates in class and those who received certificates of achievement at a higher level were presented with their certificates on assembly.

ICAS awards the following certificates:

• High Distinction – Top 1%
• Distinction – next 10% (top 11%)
• Credit – next 25% (top 36%)
• Merit – next 10% (top 46%)
• Participation – all remaining participants

Student who received these certificates were:

 Distinction Certificates – top 11% of participants

• Yoyo Chang – Digital Technologies

 Credit Certificates – top 36% of participants

• Paige Gatti – Science
• Cooper Hayden – Science, English and Digital Technologies
• Sidharth Singh - Science

 Merit Certificates – top 46% of participants

Students will participate in ICAS assessments again this year.  If students are in an Excellence Program, one of these assessments will be covered by their program fee.  All students may participate in the ICAS assessments if they wish but will need to pay to participate.  The fees are $17.05 for each of the English, Maths, Science and Digital Technologies Tests and $21.45 for Writing. The assessments and will take place in August this year.  You will receive more information regarding ICAS in Term 2 .
