Hi all. Just finished up with the whole application and interview process. Just wanted to post my experience.
Application:
With all questions, try and focus on advertising your extracurricular activities. James Ruse wants students who aren't solely academic focus. Highlight your extracurricular activities. Also, use examples throughout your schooling (preferably recent) to emphasise your point (e.g., I demonstrate the value of acceptance through my participation in multicultural activities. This shows my inclusivity).
Interview Questions:
NOTE:
If you have any questions, feel free to DM or ask in the thread.

Interview Questions:
- Tell me a bit about yourself. Anything I should know?
- What is your favourite subject at school? What is your least favourite?
- How will you cope with the workload at James Ruse?
- You will be doing agriculture as a subject. What do you think?
- Have you had a look at our website? Are there any extracurricular activities that took your fancy?
- I have asked enough questions about you, do you have any questions about this school?
- Any questions Mum?
- What electives did you pick-leads on to a general discussion about electives and your choice.
NOTE:
- I do not remember the exact wording of each question, hence each question is paraphrased
- Your mother/father will be in the room with you, make sure you are the only one responding and they should only respond when asked
If you have any questions, feel free to DM or ask in the thread.
