First of all, want to state that I've had a big change of plans regarding completing VCE. Next year is supposed to be the year I graduate, however due to mental health issues + failing a couple units this year, I'm staying an extra year so I can complete VCE with the right amount of units and hopefully under less stress
My school doesn't have "year levels" (we're a pretty innovative school i suppose lol), but this year was year 11 for me. I did 5 unit 1/2 subjects. I don't see next year as repeating year 11 as 1. school doesn't have a year 11, or 10, or 9.. you get the point and 2. I won't be repeating any of my unit 1/2 subjects as I don't see the need to... more on that later.
currently finalising my subject selection for next year and I'm really conflicted. I've had to choose subjects different to the ones I originally chose as a couple of them clashed and there was no way around it..
The subjects i'm 100% set on doing are unit 3/4 eng lang and 3/4 legal studies... I did units 1/2 of both this year and did really well in them. Those are the two unit 3/4 subjects I'll be doing, the other three subjects will be unit 1/2. Will do 4 unit 3/4 subjects in 2021 (my graduating year).
The unit 1/2 subjects I'm considering are history, media, psych, business management and geography (via distance ed). My current feelings towards each of these subjects are-
Media- don't really want to do this one because I'm worried it'll be too much of a workload + not my subject. I am somewhat interested in the subject because I'm interested in doing media and communications course at uni... however if i were to do a media coms course, i'd want to specialise in journalism and i don't think vce media has much relevance to that.
Psych- will 100% be doing this, because I am keen to and also because if I don't do media, I'll have to do psych instead
History- however if I do psych instead of media, I'll have to do history because the only other subject available that runs at the same time is psych (and obviously I can't be in two psychology classes). I enjoy learning about history but I have negative feelings towards the school subject because I've always had bad history teachers
Geography or business management- either of these will have to be done through distance education... and I kind of have to do one subject via distance ed as I have a blank in my 2020 timetable and I'm not interested in any of the classes that would fill it. They don't offer geography at my school but it's always been a subject I've been interested in (i did it in year 9 and 10), and there is one bus man class but I can't join it as it clashes with english language. I have no idea what distance ed is like and if i could manage doing it, and which of these subjects would be better to do via distance ed.
What I'm leaning towards the most is doing psychology, history and business management. If I did those, the subjects i'd do in 2021 would most likely be psychology, health (completed units 1/2 this year), business and history (revs, probably),
So yeahhhhh.... opinions? Advice? Commentts? Any would be appreciated
