The assessments will take place in September. For more information you can visit www.unsw.global/ICAS.

This year we will provide the opportunity for students in years 3-6 to sit the assessments in

Mathematics and English.

Parents can now register and pay for the assessments online and UNSW will inform the school of your child's participation.
