congrats to those who got through!

does the class teacher really announce how many got through?
i only know for ICAS, my kid's teacher just dished out the papers and told them to keep to themselves.

Jedamum,
Do we hv ICAS or UNSW at Pr 3 level???
Totally clueless ....or my child is not involved so hv no idea at all.
Pls adv ? Thx !

UNSW is new to me. ICAS yes at P3 level, they even have at P2. depending on whether the school inform the parents to sign up. I signed my boy up for fun last year for computer skills. This year, he did computer skills and 3 other subjects as his form teacher suggested that everyone from their class should attempt all ICAS papers for exposure.
school will issue a notice cos fee deductable via edusave.
