We are providing an alternative set of exams for our students instead of ICAS this year.

​Kia ora parents and caregivers

Year ​7 and​ 8 students are invited to participate in 'Kiwi Competition' Science, Mathematics and English exams which are facilitated by the University of Canterbury. These examinations are based on the NZ Curriculum and replace the ICAS ​exams ​which are ​based on an Australian curriculum.

Students will be awarded a participation, merit or excellence award and individual student reports will be sent home.

We will not be doing extra preparation for these examinations, but they will be conducted during school time with dates to be confirmed ​for Term 2 ​between 20 June-29 July 2022. Past test papers are not available for practice as these tests are administered online.

Please complete the ​G​oogle form by Tuesday 3 May if your child would like to enter any of the exams. We will not be accepting any entries after this date.

There is a cost $​10.00​ per entry and this will be ​added to your ​child's​ account.
