Holy Family School principal Kevin Arrow said the ICAS competitions, which were all completed online this year, "have a long history and large cohorts compete in the various subject tests each year".
"The competition tests scientific thinking, problem solving, knowledge and understandings of various science topics," he said.
Mr Arrow said Eric "is a hard working student and he deserves his first place".
"Our school has supported the teaching of science as a priority, and the excellent work of our teachers is reflected in this high student achievement," he said.
