At Ōtūmoetai Intermediate, any student who wishes to sit these international competitions may do so. ICAS Assessments are online assessments, designed to assess students’ ability to apply classroom learning in new contexts, using higher order thinking and problem-solving skills.

The assessments are based on the curricula for the relevant year. Students are asked to demonstrate a deeper, integrated, and thorough level of learning. Students are rewarded with either a Participation, Merit, Credit, Distinction or High Distinction certificate. This year we had a number of students achieve Distinction, which is the top 10% of participants and a High Distinction which means that the student is in the top 1% of participants.
