ICAS Mathematics Competition

Recently, keen mathematicians at PLC took part in the 2023 ICAS mathematics competition.

The ICAS maths exams challenge and extend high-achieving students while preparing them for the advanced level of mathematics involved in various STEM subjects. Students answer a variety of questions on topics such as arithmetic, patterns, geometry, data and pre-algebra in Years 4-6 and in Years 7-10, algebra, measurement, geometry, chance and data, which increase in complexity throughout the paper and encourage the use of higher-order thinking skills.

We achieved some strong results and congratulated Marshall Wilke, Jayden Murphy, and Scarlett Van Den Hurk on achieving Distinction awards.

In addition to these 3 Distinctions, our students also achieved 37 credits, and 20 merits, but importantly we celebrate all our students who participated in the competition for their willingness to extend themselves academically. Well done!

Parents are able to obtain their child’s detailed ICAS results by following the individual access details provided on the back of the certificates that students will receive shortly.
