Hi,
Well i don't get along with my Biology teacher (she has continually taught our class incorrect information). I am in year 12, after a meeting with my coordinator and the teacher they threatened to remove me from the class and force me to drop biology. I am the top of my class with consistent results. My question is can the school really force me to drop a subject? has anybody been in a similar situation? any advice?

I'm not sure about the details about the system for handling complaints like this), but VCAA is open until 5pm.

Give them a call and see what they say. Even if they can't help, I presume they can give suggestions on what to do.

Unless you, as an individual, are extremely disruptive towards the class, I can't see how they would have merit to do so.
With this being said, school representatives will often do things without having merit to do so, so I'm not sure you'll be able to do anything. You could always write to the VCAA or department of education (I'm not exactly sure who would deal with these matters) if it does eventuate that you are kicked out of the class without merit. It may be best to just avoid your teacher holistically. Try studying on your own and possibly attend tutoring, then do SACs under coordinator supervision or something alike.
