    Senior Subject Selection - Need Advice on Subjects

    As for English Ext 1, if you don't have a good teacher, forget it, not worth the time. You can get a tutor, but you're better off doing SOR or another humanities for it in yr 11. So make sure you know who the teacher is going to be and how good they are..
