ICAS

At Sandgate we pride ourselves in providing students with opportunities to demonstrate their capabilities in the external International Competitions and Assessment for Schools (ICAS).  We are exceptionally proud of current and past students who have achieved outstanding results in these competitions.


ICAS provide opportunities for all students to gain a measure of their own achievement in external assessment situations.  They provide teachers, parents and students with comprehensive reporting in results in specific examination areas. These competitions are held annually in Terms 2 and 3. At Sandgate we offer participation in these assessments for students in Years 3 to 6 in the areas of:

  • English
  • Writing
  • Mathematics


Each student receives a Student Report and a certificate which is awarded on the following basis: 

  • High Distinction - The top 1% of participants
  • Distinction - The next 10% of participants
  • Credit - The next 25% of participants
  • Merit - The next 10% of participants
  • Participation - For all remaining participants

Maths Tournament

Each year, in September, we nominated 2 teams (Years 5 and 6) to compete at the Brisbane Curriculum Leaders Maths Tournament. The competition is aimed to stimulate interest in Mathematics and to provide an activity of intellectual fun in a scholarly atmosphere, while fostering interest in creative problem solving.  The 2 teams of 5 students compete in a team and a relay event.  Students thoroughly enjoy participating in this event and our teachers, parents and caregivers are extremely proud of the students’ achievements and their levels of cooperation and enthusiasm.
