ICAS - UNSW GLOBAL EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENTS

Towards the end of last term some of our students participated in the 2019 University of New South Wales International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS).  The ICAS Assessments series is designed to assess students' ability to apply classroom learning in new contexts, using higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills.  Students who participated chose which assessments they would like to complete. We had a number of students complete the following:- ICAS Spelling, Writing, Digital Technologies, Mathematics, Science and Technology, and English.  

This week we have received the Digital Technologies results.  We congratulate all students who participated and in particular would like to mention:-

Eva Francis (4 Gold) - Distinction.  Based on Eva’s overall score, she is placed in the top 2% of Year 4 participants in Australia.

Erin Little (5 Gold) - Credit.  Based on Erin’s overall score, she is placed in the top 13% of Year 5 participants in Australia.

Khussh Sachan (6 Green) - Credit.  Based on Khussh’s overall score, he is placed in the top 36% of Year 6 participants in Australia.

Over the next few weeks we will receive the results for all assessments sat by our students and I look forward to sharing them with the community when they arrive.
