HELL NO! I know many people that didnt do Maths that did Chemistry and Physics just fine.
Complain to the school! Don't go down without a fight.

That is slack,simonkey said:
At least we have some Year 11 students doing Physics and Chemistry who also does General Maths ...
Actually it is strongly recommended you do 2U Mathematics if you plan to do Physics and Chemistry.
A small proportion of 2U Maths intertwines with Physics...
Your school took it a little too far that I can point out ...

For chem you don't really need maths that much, its more "common sense" type maths(not to mention the only maths that was ever in chem has been taken out almost completely-thus the difficulty in transition for some people from high school to uni), but i wouldn't recommend physics without at least 2U maths ...they're quite similar
Legally your school cannot say that you must do Maths to do either Physics and/or Chemistry but at my school both the Science and Maths departments have always recommended a strong level of Maths to do either subject.
Talk to your science teachers about your ability in those subjects as they may say that you have strong enough Maths skills anyway - we had a student in that situation many years ago. A student desperatly needed Chemistry but her Maths was the old MIP (easier even then General Maths today). The Science staff believed that she was capable of doing the Chemistry course and she got over 90 in Chemistry.

My school recomends 2u math but does not force the issue.

At my school, people can do physics or chemistry regardless of what maths they're doing.

its just a recommendation, that you do 2u, but the math in physics isnt that hard anyway... i dunno bout chem though.
But physics is more about the theory these days ... thats wat i think

then why don't you just do 2unit maths?
i think thats the problem with physics these days.. they've taken so much of the difficult maths out so people that don't do maths or do general maths can still do it

I know this is kinda off the whole maths thing, but at my school a couple of girls got told they couldnt do physics, they just wont let em. can they actually do that?
