Penrith Selective High School Year 11 student, Sukhmandeep, has claimed the title of NSW Year 11–12 State Champion in the first-ever ICAS All-Stars Academic Competition.
The school said in a statement: “This remarkable achievement is a testament to Sukhmandeep’s talent, hard work, and dedication to learning. We couldn’t be prouder to celebrate this success with our school community. Well done, Sukhmandeep, a true star and an inspiration to us all!”
The ICAS All-Stars initiative builds on the long-standing tradition of ICAS by recognising the top academic achievers across the state. Winners are celebrated at a level of prestige comparable to state championships in sport, providing a platform for students to showcase their skills and gain wider recognition.
The competition features three assessment tiers matched to students’ year levels, with the Senior Assessment for Years 9 to 12. Each test runs for 60 minutes and evaluates general academic ability across multiple subjects, including English, Mathematics, Science, reasoning, general knowledge, and digital literacy, offering a comprehensive measure of student excellence.
