Grade 8 Interview Process: Boarding School Mini-Fair

As part of their preparation for the placement process, Grade 8 students practice interviewing. One event that helps students sharpen their interviewing skills is our Boarding School Mini-Fair. Students will have time with admission representatives from approximately 15 boarding schools throughout the East Coast, asking questions and sharing information about themselves.

This undertaking encourages our students to engage with new people and articulate their thoughts about why they might be good candidates for a school. Events like the Boarding School Mini-Fair illustrate St. Patrick’s intentional approach to the secondary school outplacement process.
