For many years we have offered our more able students the ability to take part in International Competitions and Assessments for Schools competitions (ICAS). Entries close on Wednesday 14 March.

These competitions allow children to get an objective assessment of their level in particular subjects compared to others throughout Australasia, Asia and the Pacific. Certificates and an analysis of results are given to all participants, with higher achievement recognised by certificates of credit, distinction and higher distinction.

This year Digital Technologies is being offered. This is a paper test and covers topics such as general skills, word processing, graphics & multimedia, internet & email, spreadsheets & databases and programming & scripting.

If you have questions regarding these competitions, please contact Leith Bruning: Leith.bruning@waimeaint.school.nz or your child’s classroom teacher.

Forms will be available in the library if required (to print please see attachment at the end of this article).

Please return form and money to collection box in the library by Wednesday 14 March.
