It's only a content endorsed course. So you have to find somewhere that
offers it, or you can't do it (I can't recall anywhere that does it). There's not much point of doing it outside of school if your school doesnt offer it because it's only a one year course.

Changing schools in one option

Yea, I probably shouldn't have chosen something I didn't know about, but I thought I'd rather do this than economics.

But when I got to Year 12 I dropped photography because it was a non UAI subject and I wanted some time to be able to study.

For future students who have to choose HSC subjects, choose the subjects you think you will be good at and the subjects that interest you. Don't pick subjects because you're friends are doing it or because you feel you have to do it. I chose not to do maths because I honestly sucked at it and I just wasn't passionate about it like other people are.

Lol sorry I rambled on but yeah... just trying to help...
