I am currently in year 7 and I want to enroll for Hurlstone and Sefton High school for year 8, is the entrance test hard for year 8 and what can I study for the entrance exam? For the application, can I take picture of the trophies that I received from debating and chinese school and stuff like that? I want to go Hurlstone Agriculture High School badly because when I did the selective test I missed by like 10 marks away from accepting into Hurlstone.
Any advice is nice :D

I have good advice.
NO1. make sure your organized.
NO2. make sure u don't forget ur going to selective.
NO3. study agriculture that's one thing i forgot to do and i became reserve at 17. Not only that, but study for stuff to do with animals or crops/plants stuff like that & there is going to be heaps of competitions.

Why? I speak from experience. Don't. I'm sure 2xL will back me up on this.

From my knowledge, the agriculture portion of the entrance exam for Hurlstone last year for year 8s going into year 9 was basically an essay based on a stimulus (newspaper article relating to some agricultural issue).

Usually the writing portion is about agriculture so make sure you know the correct essay structure.

Is there a chance that there will be a narrative topic instead of an essay topic

I don't think so the point of the essay is to determine your knowledge of the essay structure.
