Those students whose achievement was outstanding were rewarded with Certificates of Credit, Distinction and High Distinction. The International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) are developed by Educational Assessment Australia (EAA) of the University of New South Wales, and are conducted annually across Australia and in 12 other countries. There are over 1.5 million entries worldwide.
The Competitions are for students from Years 3 to 12, and assess their academic ability in aspects of Mathematics, Science, English, Writing, Computer Skills and Spelling. 'ICAS are excellent independent assessments of the skills that students need in education, the wider community and the workplace of the future,' said Dr. Peter Knapp, Director of EAA. 'All students from Tauranga Intermediate School are to be congratulated on their outstanding efforts.' 'one of the special benefits of ICAS is that schools and students receive detailed diagnostic information about their overall performance. ICAS allow students to monitor their progress from year to year and identify individual strengths and weaknesses.'
