Grade-wise, good but not exceptional for natsci.
It's not a game-changer either way.
And without any more details, it's not possible to say anymore AND grades ar only one part of application anyway.

Grades are looked at in the context of your school and background to an extent- if you go to a poorly performing state school your grades are very good, if you go to a top private school they're still good but perhaps wouldn't carry quite the same weight. Whatever your background I'd say you're very likely to get an interview, as long as you do decent on the pre-interview test.

As other posters have said super curricular activities, like reading books beyond the syllabus, are helpful for demonstrating interest but extracurricular like sport or music are pretty much irrelevant. Good luck!
