ICAS 2019 Testing

The Heights SchoolNews & Events

The ICAS testing procedure has changed to an online format in 2019 and a representative from the University of NSW is visiting us later in March to explain the new process.

All ICAS tests in 2019 will be in September so there will be plenty of time to inform parents/caregivers of the changes and organize test payments.

We will notify everyone of the new requirements after our meeting with the representative later this term.

‘Volunteer of the Year’

The Heights SchoolNews & Events

“Our Principal, Nigel Gill, took great pleasure in presenting the ‘Volunteer of the Year’ shield to Shaun Mulick at the Celebration in the Courtyard Last night.
Shaun is an exceptional volunteer who has made an incredible impact across the school. He helps run the breakfast program, lunchtime programs and also mentors two students to support their learning and emotional wellbeing.
We are very grateful for Shaun’s wide reaching generosity and care.
