Hi, my daughter got a letter yesterday, that she could not obtain a place... But today morning she got a PD in macrob..
Our preference was
- Macrob
- Nossal
3.SC
I just want to know what to do...
How to apply in PD
How to write portfolio that helps her to get in
She is not sports person but she is academically very well.
Anyone who can help me...we are living in Australia for 6 years.. Not familiar much with the education system here..
Is there any chance of getting in late offer to other first/ other preference school.
Congratulations!
While the PD is quite competitive, I think that the best thing to be aware of at this stage is what to target in your portfolio. From my experience in similar selective programs/ leadership applications at my own school, the best things to highlight would be;
- Extracurricular participation; student led clubs, being proactive, getting involved in your community inside and outside of school.
- Leadership experience: make sure to highlight how this has affected you and qualities you learnt that will help you in applying. Debating/ public speaking history would be a good thing to mention as well
- Academic excellence and love of learning: this should be demonstrated not just in test results/ tuition, but in a general attitude that they should be able to gauge through your application and hopefully interview.
In terms of the process, my understanding from my research involves the written application/ portfolio possibly followed by an interview (which involves its own layer of preparation)
These are some good resources as well:

As well as the information available on the selective schools website and information pack. It would also be good to contact the schools directly if you have any further questions.
ATARnotes also has some great resources for writing application letters so make sure to check that out too!
Congratulations again and good luck with your application!
IZM Salma covered everything really well. Basically, as long as your daughter is doing something outside of school and has been doing so for a long time with passion, that should be great. Some advice would be to show confidence, team working skills and leadership during the interview as this will give her a higher chance of making it into the interview. Showing creativity is also really useful as most people who appear to these interviews aren't really/don't show much of their creativity but rather their academic prowess which, trust me, is not that important in this interview. Good luck to her and I hope she does well!
Thanks salma and somebody
Hi guys,
could anyone please explain the offer process?
One of my friends said she didn't get into Macrob but I'm not sure if she meant she didn't receive an email yesterday or she received an email saying she was rejected.
Can anyone be rejected when it's only the first round??? Does she still have a chance for the second round?? I'm confused

Hi all,
I received a first round offer for Nossal High! However, my friend got an email for an application “principal’s discretion”. If she were to get rejected from principal’s discretion, is there a chance that she could get a late offer? Or are those in principal’s discretion excluded from the rest of the offers process?
