I'm a girl - I've heard that as well, yet the spread of gender seems pretty even at the school.

Hi I am also a girl. But over the years they try to make the year level 50% to 50% for both genders. So that would make it slightly easier for us girls as there are more male applicants.

Anyone from Highvale Secondary or Brentwood?

hey im a girl as well and I had my interview today
not to sound full of myself or cocky but the lady asking the qs kept saying that I did really good and should be very happy with myself
 
One tip id give is that dont stress or panic , they are so friendly
Try to befriend the ladies who interview you , first impressions go a long way
try your best to answer the questions even if you are not sure , you may not get all of your info right but if you sound confident and excited in what you are saying , it gives them the idea that you are passionate
good luck to anyone who does the interview in the next two days , wishing you all the best

I just did my interview earlier. I was shaking so much, like you can’t tell I was shaking, but I could tell myself, I was just shaking so bad. I think I did pretty well though, answered well I think...
