Drysdale Primary has had many students involved in the ICAS assessments throughout the years. This year we are offering students from Years 2 to 6, who are interested, the opportunity to engage in these assessments. It is NOT compulsory.
Please register your expression of interest with our co-ordinator, Alice Kuenzer, via email drysdale.ps@education.vic.gov.au before Friday 28th June.
‘ICAS recognises academic performance in a way others celebrate achievements in sport or the arts. Students can sit up to six literacy and STEM papers including English, Mathematics, Science, Digital Technologies, Writing and Spelling Bee. The questions are engaging and fun and have been designed by psychometricians, education measurement experts and experienced teachers to push students to their academic limits, as well as test higher-order thinking and problem-solving abilities.’
Assessments will occur at school and be supervised by Alice Kuenzer on specific dates from August 5th through until 30th August. https://www.icasassessments.com/event-calendar-australia/
English, Writing, Mathematics, Spelling Bee, Digital Technologies and Science are available.

Prices range PER PAPER from $19.95- $23.95 https://www.icasassessments.com/products-icas/pricing/. Once open, online ordering will close 29th July. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PURCHASE PAPERS YET!
