ICAS awards
International Competitions and Assessment for School (ICAS) is a suite of online academic competitions for students in Years 2-12 that are delivered annually in conjunction with UNSW Global. ICAS aims to recognise and reward academic excellence in a number of fields, including Digital Technologies, English, Mathematics, Science and Writing.
This year Academic Engagement at CGGS delivered almost 200 ICAS assessments to interested students within the Senior School, the largest participation in recent years and attained very impressive results with 25% of participants receiving a Distinction or High Distinction.
We are delighted to announce that Sophia (Y11) has been awarded the ICAS medal for Science. This is an incredibly prestigious award with only four students in Australia and New Zealand receiving such accolades for 2022 and is a testament to her dedication to learning.
