also does anyone have interview questions for baulko?

baulko interviews are usually a formality but in the past they've asked:
"How will you cope with moving to a completely new school"
"Do you know anyone here currently?"
"What subjects do you plan on taking?"
"Why Baulko?"
"Why do you want to leave (old school)?"
"What can you contribute to the school?"
"What subjects do you wish to take next year?"

Although, I'd still recommend preparing more deep questions js incase

do u think nsg would beat baulko

Nah I highly doubt it, both schools been dipping but I don’t think Baulkho would ever dip as far as going below nsg

 

[woo_879]

maths ext 1/2, bio, chem, physics, n i forgot the rest of my plan

hey that’s similar to me lol

 

[woo_879]

arghhh what the flip man

lol it’s okay maybe if those subs don’t go well for you you can ask if they offer it externally though it would be a big hassle but regardless people here have performed well when doing it externally

What happened to this thread???? I went on holiday (for school holidays ofc) and now there seems to be sooo many helpful people

I personally tried out for girraween, Sydney tech and ruse y9 entry and failed them all (unsurprisingly) but I think it’s not cause I’m dumb but because I didn’t prepare..

Honestly, all I want is to just leave my current school which is ranked pretty high for public school which is cool in hindsight but the community and everyone just sucks. Ive wanted to get in selective to leave my current school because I don’t really have any loyal friends and even in the enrichment program, kids are all self focused and purposefully throw me down to let my grades tank.

I know I got a bit too personal into myself and idk why I said all that but next year I really REALLY wanna get into girra or Penrith and have a high tier school like baulko or something as my first choice. If there’s anyone who can help prepare for the hast or edutest PLEASE hmu because I heard they’re opening a new class in y10 which seems so doable for me.

I’m also really open to do new things and try new extracurriculars and maybe you guys can join me in some of them lol

Sorry for the yap session but my current school is rough so I’m determined to get in next year and even get into accelerated classes

ps: it’s currently 4am and I’m supposed to wake up in 3 hours for my first day back at school but I can’t sleep so I decided to just stay up ;D

If you read all that thanks and I can’t wait to see what messages you guys will leave after I come back tomorrow (if I’m relevant ofc)

Lol I was wondering what happened to you after I messaged you. I think you can get into any of these schools, even higher too. I just found out that someone from carlingford some years ago got into ruse for year 11, and carlingford is non selective too, it’s just public. I think you should work in your extracurriculars for those schools specially Baulkho. Like if your school has cadets, join that, or do like community service like rotary. Public speaking/muns/debating are also great extracurriculars. Chess is a good one too as well as a sport, even participating is just fine. Also like TOM and FRED are really good school activities. These are all the extracurriculars my friend did to get into baulkho, even though their reports were quite low.
