School
ICAS Exams 2026

Within our school community there are students who excel in the learning displaying exemplary work habits and academic endeavour and celebrate their talents in the world-renowned ICAS competition. To provide these students further opportunity to extend themselves, we are offering the opportunity to enter the world renowned ICAS competition.

What is ICAS?  

ICAS is an online academic competition that gives students the opportunity to challenge their higher order thinking and problem-solving skills in English, Mathematics, Science, Writing, Spelling Bee, and Digital Technologies.

ICAS results are in-depth and meaningful, and ICAS evaluates student performance against other competition entrants across the state and nation. The data reveals student strengths and weaknesses and can help you recognise and support your child’s academic journey.    Learn more about ICAS here: (icasassessments.com/products-icas/).

ICAS results and certificate
Every student who participates is celebrated and recognised with a printed certificate in each subject area, and an online results report to track development each year. Top performers are eligible for one of the highly coveted ICAS medals.

Your child’s ICAS certificates will show their results and the login details, “TAP ID and Pin”. – Use these to enter the Results Portal (https://orti.icasassessments.com/ortiStudent).
