The College places great importance on the interview and hence all applicants are normally interviewed by either the Dean of Residents or Master. The only exception to this is for interstate and overseas candidates who cannot attend an interview. In this instance a telephone interview will be conducted.

The application form calls for basic information and also personal data. The latter relates to your intellectual and academic interests, your cultural, sporting &/or artistic, and your involvement in the community. This background information helps the College relate your application to the selection criteria.

There are a number of factors that are considered. These include academic performance, community service, leadership positions, and awards, cultural activities in sport/music/art and other achievements and special qualities.
