Your report is looking pretty good! I think most selective schools take into account, the things you did in primary, but they focus more on secondary. NAPLAN is also excellent, and if you don't make it in this year, you can take the chance to work on your writing skills for Year 9 NAPLAN. The extra-curricular awards will definitely help increase your chances, and like astroman said, it wont hurt to take part in other activities as well.

Good luck to you!

Hi Mate,
I know its an old post and you are probably already close to your HSC but i am in exactly similar situation to what you were in at the time of this post.
The only difference is that i am in Year 7 in Epping Boys High GAT.

Can you please write a few lines about how was your detailed experience and whether you managed to get in? And if you did, what schools?
I am especially interested to know if your overall achievement record you have stated above was enough to get you an Year 9 selective entry or not?

Thanks and will appreciate a response although it may not be directly beneficial to what you are up against at the moment (HSC).
