DD sat her interview on Monday...quite friendly and relaxed. Tell your girls not to be too worried
Glad your daughter had a good experience Teanosugar.
My daughter was also on the Monday but unfortunately not the same for her.
One question was "tell me something I should know about you and give a reason why I would find it impressive". My daughter mentioned that competed in a physical contact sport and that despite being very small, she could throw girls far bigger than her. She mentioned that she was competing in the Girls Schools competition at the weekend and had achieved lots of belts. She was then asked again "why should I find that impressive?"
Another question was "tell me about an achievement that you are very proud of" to which the answer was that she had achieved grade 4 merit recently for a musical instrument. The reply was simply "how many instruments do you play?" No further discussion.
My daughter was really put off by the teacher who she felt was pretty unfriendly. It's been a completely difference experience to the other interviews that she's attended where the staff went out of their way to make her (and us) feel welcome and relaxed.
We'll see but suspect she will not be receiving an offer.
