Funny thing is that physics became more of a time crush whilst chemistry became easier in the 2025 syllabus
did it actually?? Thats lucky for me then, I swapped out of physics for chem on the first day cause they put me in the wrong class

Initially I felt some resentment, but physics is way better than what multimedia could ever be. And I wouldn't be going anywhere doing both multimedia and art as majors are a really big pain.
hmm okay, well I'm glad it worked out for you!
I was going to do multimedia or Photo + Digital but neither ran :,), sooo im doing dramaaa

One question is there a hsc for drama? edit: how is drama assessed for hsc?
My sister is in year 9 and she wanted to know whether its worth continuing or not
okay so fun story, I never did Drama for junior school, I only joined it this year because music at my school wasn't worth perusing due to the teacher I got.

Drama is assessed through a few different aspects, I presume that if she's asking to 'continue' she'd have more experience than I do in the first place. There are theory aspects and performance aspects, plus a 'major work' at the end of year 12 for the HSC.
I'll list my assessments in order so she gets an example of what someone is doing right now.
TERM 1 (y11) - MONOLOGUES : my teacher is pushing our stage-fright out by making us learn (I think minimum 3 minute??) monologues for the assessment
TERM 2 (y11) - ESSAYS : Typical Drama essay, critical study of a performance, you'll be expected to analyse it to an extent
TERM 3 (y11) - AUSTRALIAN THEATRE + PLAYBUILDING : my teacher is giving us a brief rundown of Australian Theatre before year 12, and then we will be split into groups for playbuilding
---------
year 12 includes playbuilding, essays, and a final work orientated around personal interest. These can include monologues, duologies, script writing, playbuilding, and in my case: filmmaking

'Final work' is a loose term, her year may have adjustments as the syllabus adjusts :)

Im pretty sure this syllabus undergoes no major changes till after 2030 so its no problem
Awesome! I left my drama course book in my locker unfortunately, so this is going off of memory. I'll confirm what i've said on monday when I have access to my assessments without digging to the corners of the internet
