Education Without Maths?

Hi, I'm currently in year 12 and have recently realised that I want to become a secondary teacher, only problem is I never did 1/2 maths. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could get to a bachelor of secondary education without taking formal mathematical education? I thought maybe I could just do arts and then education but even for graduate entry you need to be able to demonstrate doing some form of mathematical education. Then I thought maybe I could postpone going to uni for a year and do 1/2 maths at TAFE but all of the tafes I've looked at require people to have been out of school for at least a year before taking VCE units.

I'm just stuck and I'm so mad at myself for not doing maths in year 11 and its making me so sad :(

Ask your VCE coordinator if they'll let you sit the SACs for competency. Then ask to be credited with 1/2
✌️just do what makes you happy ✌️

Are you sure that 1/2 maths is a prerequisite for all courses? I may be mistaken, but if you do the Masters of Teaching (Secondary) at Monash, you can leave after 72 points and get a Graduate Diploma. I didn't know whether that required a mathematical background though, so verify in case I'm mistaken :P
