Maths in the home

As educators we frequently advocate for a bedtime reading routine. The article below has an interesting perspective around making Mathematics part of this daily routine too. It might be something that you wish to try at home.

International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS)

Some students in Years 3-6 have elected to undertake some or all of the 2018 ICAS Competitions. These international competitions are administered to provide students an opportunity to compete at a high level in their chosen field.

Results are rewarded according to the following scale:

High Distinction Certificate – the top 1% of participants

Distinction Certificate – the next 10% of participants

Credit Certificate – the next 25% of participants

Merit Certificate – the next 10% of participants

Participation Certificate – all remaining participants

We have received the results for English and the Mathematics Competitions.

We congratulate all those students who participated for their wonderful efforts. Certificates will be distributed when they arrive.

We would especially commend the following students for their outstanding efforts:
