ICAS Assessments™ will be available in Digital Technologies, Writing, English, Science, Spelling Bee and Mathematics.

ICAS Assessments™ are an annual world class competition designed to recognise academic excellence for high potential students. These online assessments are designed to recognise and reward academic excellence. Students are asked to demonstrate a deeper, integrated, and thorough level of learning. To ensure an engaging and beneficial experience for all students, new ICAS Assessments™ are developed annually for each subject in every year level. All students will receive certificates of achievement. Highest performing students have an opportunity to win medals (subject to determination by Janison Solutions Pty Ltd ‘Janison’).

These past papers provide a valuable opportunity to gain assessment experience whilst acquainting candidates with the style and content of possible question types. Please order these past papers online at the North Shore Shop.
