No, there is an endless list of girl's private school's...but I don't want to be revealing personal information just yet, I'm quite new to this forum.

wow, thats great! They must have studied super hard to be offered an enrolment! Did you apply aswell?

I attend an all girls private school in the west.

Just out of curiosity, were your friends successful in their applications?

Yes, the ACER Examination is Multiple Choice.

As mentioned in the other post, I think they will conduct an ACER Test, which mainly consists of four segments - English, Maths, Sci and Writing Skills. But some schools like Fort St have their own test which is completely diferent from the ACER test. So, basically it comes down to the...

You can find selective school past papers for year 6 from the Department of Education and training website, or alernately, try searching on Google. However, you will not find past papers for year 10 because the DET does not conduct the test, it is ACER, and you can not buy past papers from...

Read through the posts and I thought I should mention...generally, private schools are more disciplined but that doesn't ensure that they are better than Public schools.. I go to a all girls catholic school, and I am trying to move to a public school..more preferably Selective.

Just a quick post...if I were you, I would never miss a chance on attending a selective school, and that too Fort Street High which is academically inclined! So, I suggest go for it...even though it may be far in terms of distance, but it'll be worth it :)

Yes..alalder's post is very useful and do consider it closely.. Now, I was in your exact position yesterday, but its all OK now..I asked my Dad to talk to the year co-ordinator and she asked me what the was the issue with the English teacher and why I should be allowed to change classes. I told...

I know, and I think its great...so much better than having to do and preparing for a test :D

You can always ask that in person now lol

I was thinking about applying for James Ruse as they offer 40 new enrollments for year 11 students, and take no test..simply look at your reports and achievements ;p

wow..you all are extremelely lucky! I'm applying for Girra this year though!

I had my interview for a private school almost 5 years ago..back in year 6. I don't clearly remember the type of questions they ask..but I do remember the teacher asking me why I was interested in applying at the school, my interests, subjects, etc. I wasn't nervous because my parents were with...

haha hope so :P yeah something along those lines...but it'll be hard trying to keep up with school work and achieve high marks..I'm still trying to work out how I'm going to achieve the same reports as last year..it'll be difficult.

Thanks a bunch! That would be wonderful if we were, but all I can say is try your best because their will be many applicants this year...and the thought of that frightens me even though we have 6 months remaining :D Just wondering..how are u going to prepare for the test? Just take coaching?

Well, to confirm whether its true or not, you can always make a call to the school and clarify your questions. haha...well, its was good talking to someone who understands how I feel because none of my friends are interested in applying for Selective. I can't wait till September to find out the...

I don't think Baulkham Hills does...doesn't mention it on their website..however, it would be great if they do ;) haha thanks, but I'm sure I'll be joining either Pre-Uni or James An. Just out of curiousity, I wonder who else is visiting the thread? Its recieved more than 200+ views! haha

haha its interesting to read how all the others members stumbled across this forum! I landed on this website through google..I was searching selective entry for 8-12, and found some interesting posts on this website.
