Interview Preparation Day

On Saturday 21 November, around 90 students and 23 interviewers took part in Interview Preparation Day. The ongoing challenges created by COVID-19 meant that the annual event went online this year, with everyone working remotely on Teams. Students started with a group session to discuss interview planning and technique. They were then put through their paces in a mock interview.

Feedback from the  interviewers was very impressive and reflected the wide range of skills and interests of our students. The event was a useful opportunity for students to prepare before their real admission interviews in December and we are very grateful to those who volunteered to conduct interviews.

Thank you to  Mr Birtchnell for organising the event and for those parents, Old Olavians and members of staff who gave up their time to interview our students. Good luck to everyone in their interviews.
