ICAS 2020
In 2020 students in Years 2-6 will once again have the opportunity to participate in ICAS testing. ICAS is an independent, skills-based assessment program. It is not compulsory, and the results are not part of the North Sydney Demonstration School assessment program. ICAS is run by the University of NSW. You can find out more about ICAS via this link: https://www.eaa.unsw.edu.au/icas/about
The school will conduct each of these ICAS tests before school hours in Term 3. Each subject will be sat on a pre-nominated date set by the school. All subjects tested will take place sometime between Monday 17 August and Friday 4 September. Students will begin testing at 8:00am on the specified dates and finish in time for the beginning of the school day. NSDS teachers will supervise children during this time in the classrooms.
North Sydney Demonstration School will be offering ICAS tests in English, Mathematics and Science.
This year, assessments will be purchased directly from the ICAS website. (Payment for assessments will not be accepted at the school office.) Please access the Parent Payment System to view and purchase the assessments offered at NSDS.
