I would also like to thank everyone else for helping me for I have also made it into Hurlstone and got the acceptance letter! Thankyou to you to Paper cutter for informing me a lot about Hurlstone :) also thankyou to everyone else for whom I asked help from for the enrolment for selective...

Because there's too much to say! Haha (Three lines :) hehe)

Haha I could go to Cabramatta train station too to visit friends who left my current school and goes from that train station. We can be train buddies! Haha! Anyhow making it in also matters :) we didn't get multiple choices for the English section unfortunately :( also can you give me an outline...

I have checked the mailbox and there was a mail but not from Hurlstone. The Postman already went pass so yeah....also although I live about 10-15 mins away I would catch the train from Liverpool Station :) and there is a guaranteed amount of 13 spots for year 10 into year 11 but adding all the...

Thanks! And I live quite close to Hurlstone, approximately 10-15 minutes away. Apparently there are 30-40 spots in Hurlstone due to people leaving Hurlstone to other selective schools and there were approximately 70 people that tried out. I'm only good at maths and terrible at the english...

I may not receive the letter until beginning of term 4 because the school would be closed so no one would be sending the letters right? Looking forward to my results though it is taking a while. May I know when your interview is? So I get a general idea of when I would be receiving my letter...

OMG CONGRATS! I'm in year 10 currently and applied for year 11. I'm just wondering, when did you receive the letter?

Hi Vanessa! Since I applied to Hurlstone and you're in the same grade and from Hurlstone, can you give me an idea of approximately how many people you think would be leaving Hurlstone and what is the current number of students in your grade at Hurlstone? Thanks!!

Wait only just saw this post :/ maths section a joke? So you believed it was hard? If so then I thought that maths was a giveaway because it was way too easy. Do reckon others would've found the maths section hard?

I'm exactly like you except the complete opposite and I don't go to a partial or full selective school. I suck at English. Question 1) Anyways for maths, I think some of the topics would be: Volume/Surface Area/Area (maybe) Angle and Circle Geometry Surds Indices/Algebra/Equations Similarity...

Neoblader, hope to see you at the Fort Street Test haha ;) I know some people from Fort Street and they told me that Fort Street is more of a 'creative arts' school. They care more about that hence having a really good extra curricular would help you make it in. However, for me, most of my...

Hi-5!!! I'm applying to Fort Street too! but for Year 11. The English Essay for my year is very difficult.......I asked for advice from English Teachers and they told me to use examples from journals, newspapers etc etc... though what I don't like for the year 11 one is if you did a very good...

I forgot to mention but the applicants are only short listed by the test for Fort Street. They'll not check your application unless you were one of the few that went well in the exam. Then from there, the successful ones will be reviewed and they check everything, reports, NAPLAN etc. So I guess...

Thanks! Though from what RivalryofTroll said, he knows a friend who got no A's but only B's and C's that made it into Hurlstone. When I did the Hurlstone test 2 years back with 5 A's and 3 B's I didn't make it in. What I didn't like was the extended response was an agricultural question which I...

Was your report good when you handed in the application? Like how many A's or B's did you get?

Thanks for the help :) just wondering, do you currently attend a selective school?

Do I have to include maths advanced if I'm doing extension 1 maths? Because you have to do both classes or do I just leave the highest course of the subject and leave it as extension 1?

Year 11 subjects will be done in year 12. I'm planning on doing Extension 1 Math, so do I write that down? or do i just state Mathematics? and also for Advanced English do I write it like that or just English? and subjects such as Physics or Biology, do I write those two down or do I just write...

Caringbah is too hard to get to by bus or train.

Just wondering, when filling out the application form (the one from the High Performing Students Unit), for the School Subjects section, how do I fill it out? I filled out my subjects this year but next year, do I list the subjects that I will be doing for Years 11-12? Like Mathematics Extension...
