I asked my friend who got into nsg last year for entry into year 9, she said she got results late september, and for interviews she made a script before the interview that linked to the school values, talked about her strengths and weaknesses etc, and rehearsed it a few times.
Also for interviews, since you asked earlier:

thanks for asking. i did the interview yesterday and it was pretty short, but i think that’s because the principal was running behind on schedule.

Hello everyone does anyone know what kind of questions there are typically in interviews? are they generally a formality or is it properly weighed into your portfolio, thanks.

hi guys, i just got an online interview offer from sydney tech, i applied for hast at sydney tech (1st choice), as well as hurlstone and macquarie fields, heard nothing back from hurlstone and mac flds tho. i go to SRHS in minto, im in the STEAM program which is supposed to be 'selective' program, while ill admit it does have good and unique stuff and access to industry partners, i kind of hate it, it feels so disconnected from other regular classes like maths, english, hsie, etc. the education standard is really low, i feel underchallenged and misunderstood, but the worst part here is the students, from @DiwaykTechie description of kids at sydney boys, basically like that yet 10000x worse if thats possible, also unrelated but hideous architecture... anyways, this was my FIRST TIME doing hast, and i dont think i was 100% ready for the test this yr, i mean i studied lots, but this test was so different to even paid practice hast resources, especially maths section (IT WASNT EVEN MATHS, IT WAS CHAOS, LOGIC, AND READING COMPREHENSION, AND SCIENCE MIXED IN ONE!) but i pushed through, i didnt think i did particularly well, and ironically my school report this yr half yearly has 4As in aboriginal lang (somehow), geography, science, and STEAM, 2Bs in maths, english, and rest Cs.... ive been told thats not too good, and considering how i THINK i did in hast (im not sure yet, since results come out in oct/nov) im not sure ill get accepted, but I REALLY REALLY NEED to get accepted into sydney tech, so any tips for interview, and do u think if i do good in this interview, i might get accepted?? will i find out how i did in hast in interview?, cuz ive been reading a few forums, and kids apparently have found out their hast in the interview, my interview is this monday 8am on microsoft teams, do u think ive done well enough in hast to get this interview?? wish me luck

hello everyone, does anyone know or knows someone that knows how Ryde Secondary College interviews are like and if they are just a formality or not? (Asking for a friend of mine.)

Thank you.

I remember my friend saying that they got the acceptance letter first and then the principal had an interview with them talking about subjects
