In recent weeks, some of our students sat the International Competitions and Assessments for Schools, more commonly known as ICAS.

Two hundred & twenty four papers were sat by Rāroan students in Maths, English, Writing and Science. These assessments aim to provide additional challenge and extension for high-achieving students. They are designed to apply classroom learning to new contexts using higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills.

A huge congratulations to the following students on your achievements:
