The Big Science Competition is being held this year on 4th 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 $14.
Completion of the Google form and payment are to be made to the school bank account by Wednesday 1st April.
Internet banking details: ANZ Bank 06 0901 0397455 00. Please use your child’s name and Science as the reference.
