Anyone any ideas of what they will ask / need to know and anything we ought to ask? Thanks LP x Just out of interest, is this in relation to a public or private school? I thought that schools required proof of a residential address in their catchment area before they would allow you to enrol. I'd be interested to hear if you have managed to contact a school in advance of emigrating to arrange enrolment. What state/area would this be for?

tina0101 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 An interview over Skype/phone for a private school is perfectly normal if you are far away. It will be the same as a face-to-face interview - questions about school, co-curricular, activities outside of school etc. A number of schools ask about the child's values. Will talk about favourite subjects, what they want to be when they grow up and, obviously, future plans if the child is older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
