The International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) are held annually, covering a range of specific areas of study, including: Digital Technologies, Science, Spelling, Writing, English and Mathematics.

The competitions are run by the Education Assessment Australia through the University of New South Wales Educational Testing Centre and are now for Primary students from Years 2-7 in most subjects. They provide opportunities for students to be assessed in an external testing situation and are also used to recognise and reward achievement.
