Besides reports what else are you guys bringing, please be specific and do the awards have to be recent?
Also do they give back our awards?

I'm thinking of bringing awards from year 5&6 as well. Would that be ok? Also would I have to take photos of trophies & medals?

 Any evidence of involvement in science beyond the general school curriculum- What does this mean

Well my school doesn't do the UNSW competition, so I haven't really done any science beyond the curriculum?? I'm bringing academic awards, participation awards in completions, and trophies. You?

What questions were u asked at the interview grestal?

as i am in yr 11, the interview process was quite different to yours but i was asked:
-What will you miss about your old school if you come here?
-Why should you come here?
-What do you want to be when you grow up?
-What sort of science are you interested in?

Can someone who's had an interview before please explain the group interview part of the process and what types of puzzles they gave? I'm a bit confused on how challenging those types of group puzzles are going to be.

A group interview is basically jst a few little logical puzzles. It shouldn't be to hard. Make sure you speak up in your group and be confident!  GL
