I am pretty sure all schools must offer math and science tho, but just asking out of curiosity.

They do have to offer at least one maths I believe, but in terms of the sciences no. In rural areas, teacher can be in short supply for those subjects, like physics for example, so they don't offer it. It just depends on teacher demand, subject demand etc. Not 100% sure though.

I know right! I was pretty annoyed since you'd think they would have every VCE subject, but they don't. There are quite a few missing.

Yeah math is a 100% must offer, as it serves as a prerequisite for many courses at university. Science especially chemistry also serves as a prerequisite for many courses too.

Hey guys, thank you all so much for your responses. I go to a catholic school, so I wouldn’t say private but it’s definitely not public, and I guarantee you that funding wouldn’t be an issue. The reason they’re not offering it next year anymore is because apparently kids who pick Lang, generally do it cause they hate reading and then don’t work hard and end up doing very poorly, even though two kids got a raw 45 in it a few years ago... Thanks for your advice once again, I’ll probably convince a few more mates so that I have 10-15 names as ‘evidence’ of the fact that my year level is keen to do eng Lang, and I’ll speak to the head of English and/or the assistant principal.
Thanks.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, it’s kind of ridiculous to me how they don’t offer all types of English, as it is very important, if not the most important core Subject in VCE, but they offer subjects like software development (no hate, just using it as an example) in which there are hardly 10 kids.

Hey guys, :D

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but, you could try and ask your school/ principal/ careers adviser, if you could do an online course for the subject you really want to do? ??? You will have to do the subject through an external provider :)

Hope this helps!
