They want to know about hobbies, interests, special responsibility’s and clubs,interest in school/subjects so i was going to write about:
-Interest in cooking
-water sports
-adventure holidays
-interest in traveling
-being gifted and talented
-and the subjects i am taking
any tips or ideas welcome.
-being a prefect

from what you explained, isnt this just an essay all about yourself? I think they just wanted an all rounded person who can write and is active too.
start from introduction, then family, then interest, then a closing paragraph.
