What are your general comments?
Mark Scott is excellent at using humour to loosen up and relax the students before the interviews- my nervousness was cut in half by the time I arrived at my first interview. All three interviewers were so nice, and it really felt like you were simply having a conversation with an interesting person who is passionate about the school and its important role in the community. They didn't throw anything at me that I wasn't expecting and prepared for.
