We are delighted to inform you that West Melton School will be participating in the world-renowned ICAS AssessmentsTM again this year. ICAS is designed to target students’ higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills in English, Mathematics, Science, Spelling, Writing and Digital Technologies.

We are offering the opportunity for interested Year 4-8 students to take part. ICAS exams are organised by the University of New South Wales and while offered to NZ schools it is important to note that they are based on the Australian Curriculum.
