25 January 2023 – Bina Bangsa School Bandung announced this year’s achievements in the International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) participated in by students from the Primary, Secondary, and Junior College levels. The ICAS examination taken last September 2022 was the first to be held offline at BBS Bandung campus after 3 years. The school expressed its heartfelt congratulations to the participants during the Principal’s Awards event.

“Drawing on 40 years of international assessment experience and academic rigour, ICAS is a school competition that inspires, celebrates and challenges millions of school students across Australia, New Zealand and the world. The competition questions are set in modern, real-world scenarios where school students are assessed on their ability to apply classroom learning to new contexts, using higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills. The subjects span literacy (English, Writing and Spelling Bee) and STEM (Mathematics, Science and Digital Technologies).” -https://www.icasassessments.com/products-icas/
