Hi Brothanathan (luv the username btw). First of all, I 110% recommend pursuing philosophy in year 12. Philosophy is such a fun and interesting subject, and you'll learn a lot about life in general, which unfortunately not all of the VCE subjects on offer actually assist in... Philosophy teaches us how to question and to challenge, something that is becoming more and more pressing in our day and age (*cough cough* fake news *cough cough*).

You wouldn't have to catch up on anything for Year 12, which is a HUGE win!!!! Yay!!! The year 12 course consists of ten new philosophers, and ten new texts, so the only things that we really carry across from year 11 are skills. In year 11, we learn how to reduce arguments to their most basic points, how to evaluate and analyse, and how to write philosophy essays and such. These are all things that you cover again in year 12, so don't sweat it at all!

I hope you decide to study philosophy next year!!!! Try to get a friend or two to join Distance Ed with you, because having a friend really helps to challenge and push your thinking :)

Thanks for the spark of positivity. Still slightly skeptical about doing a subject virtually and every other class back at norm school. Virtual School Victoria has sort of a bad rep so yea would be great if you know anyone or urself have done a subject at Distance Ed and experience.
