HAVING PLAYED for your university or college in any sport is an advantage only if you have kept up with your skills!

A national or regional level representation in debating or drama is very attractive for Public Schools as these skills remain with the practicant for life.

A pleasant personality, a jovial attitude and total proficiency in one's subject is irresistible.

An image of a role-model elder sibling is to be projected as this is what is looked for.

Innovation and independent thought is a highly prized asset.

A respect for authority is appreciated but subservience is frowned upon!

Past participation in adventure sports is an advantage.

Clear speech and straightforward outlook improve chances of success.

Multi-tasking was invented by public schools! You need to be masters' of all trades, not just of one!

Display your inherent sense of fair play and justice. Honesty and the core values are highly appreciated.
