ICAS tests will proceed as originally planned:
Week 6 – English
Week 7 – Science
Week 8 – Maths
Payments for the above tests need to be made by Thursday, August 12th if paying at school (partly funded tests $5 each) or Sunday, August 15th if paying to ICAS directly (full price tests $17.05 each – Maths only still available). Your child will have brought home a letter early this term if they have qualified for a partly funded test.
New tests available – 2021 only
Due to the recent lockdown, ICAS have opened a second testing window. This has provided us with an opportunity to offer additional subjects in the second test window in October. Please note that this is a one-off opportunity for 2021 – we do not usually have the staff or devices available to facilitate this number of ICAS subjects in the usual testing timeframe.
If you would like your child to participate in either the Spelling Bee or Digital Technologies ICAS tests in October, please visit the website below to directly purchase the tests ($17.05each). Unfortunately, Banksia cannot accept the payment at school for these tests. Digital Technologies is available from Year 3-6 and Spelling Bee is available for Year 2-6.
