The Big Science Competition is being held this year on 5th May for Year 8 pupils only. This is run in a  similar format to the ICAS tests.

Pupils complete the competition online, so will need a device.

Students who sit the Big Science Competition are assessed against the outcomes for the Australian Curriculum – Science, (very similar to New Zealand). The competition is designed not only to test their science knowledge, but their critical thinking and problem-solving skills too!

The cost of sitting this exam is $12. 

Completion of the Google form and payment are to be made to the school bank account by Wednesday 3rd April.

Please use your child’s name and Science as the reference.
