Final Update: ICAS 2025 – Woodlea and Maddingley
Each student who participated in ICAS is 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.
ICAS certificate/s will show student results and the login details, “TAP ID and Pin”. Use these to enter the Results Portal. Note: the school will publish, via Schoolbox, when ICAS certificates have arrived. Arrangements will be made to send these home with students or by post. The TAP ID and Pin from previous years can access 2025 results. Year 2 students will have to wait for the certificate details or contact ICAS directly to access the “TAP ID and Pin”.
