Students ace ICAS Science exams

13 August 2014

St Paul’s had 113 students enter the ICAS Science competition, which is a one hour multiple choice examination that requires students to use their science knowledge, reasoning and interpreting skills to determine the answers to 45 resourced-based questions.

Our students competed across all year levels (9–13) and were up against more than 10,000 students from across New Zealand and the Pacific. Despite the large number of competition, our students achieved well above the national average across all year levels.

Three students ranked in the top one percent, 11 students ranked in the top 10 percent and 46 students ranked in the top 25%.

This year’s achievements continues on from St Paul’s success in the competition over the past four years. St Paul’s students have continued to rank in the top percentile and each year one of our students have received top marks in the country.
