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.
Please note that from this year ICAS is online and entry prices have increased.
Students can enter any number of competitions, however entry fees must be lodged by the due date, Friday 12th April. If your child is interested in an extra challenge, then this is a great learning opportunity. The dates for the competitions at Craigburn in 2019 are:
