i mean if you made it to interview you're pretty much nearly guaranteed to make it in
-don't mess up during the interview and maintain eye contact
-look through the school website at school values, subjects offered etc
-be prepared to answer the question "why do you want to attend this school?"
-be honest in your responses
-they could also ask about strengths/weaknesses, your hobbies, and if you'll fit in at your new school

Okay, got it, thank you so much for your advice

I’m not really in a position to give good advice but I have a question

When is your interview cause when I had mine they said the results would come out within the first or second week so I’m kind of confused

I didn’t do my interview cause I was overseas, so my one is delayed to the first week of term 4. I think the results didn’t come cause not all interviews were done, so their decision couldn’t be made properly.

That doesn’t even matter. The interviews are still some concepts and probably same questions, but just different values and stuff.
