Bellfield College International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) – Senior School Years 7 to 10 Wednesday, 8th June 2021 Dear Parents, Asalamu Alaykum The International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) is an independent, quality skillsbased assessment program which rewards and recognises achievement. ICAS gives you broad insights into your child’s performance across English, Mathematics, Science, Digital Technologies, Spelling and Writing. ICAS (sometimes referred to as the UNSW assessments) has been developed by Educational Assessment Australia (EAA) since 1981. When your child takes part in ICAS assessments, we can track their learning as they progress from year to year. This year, the assessments will be done online using the school’s computers. Entries are open to all students in Years 7 to 10. Each student receives: • an individual diagnostic report highlighting strengths and weaknesses and year to year progression • login details to access their online results which can be analysed and downloaded • a High Distinction, Distinction, Credit, Merit or Participation Certificate acknowledging their level of achievement • the chance to receive an individually engraved UNSW medal for the highest scoring student in each year level for each subject. To learn more about ICAS go to www.eaa.unsw.edu.au/icas/about Remember, EAA has some very helpful tools to help your child prepare. You can access practice assessments at www.eaa.unsw.edu.au/icas/preparation
