Ok well im kinda left without a chemistry or physics teacher atm. What happened was my chemistry teacher got a job as science head teacher at another school. so my physics teacher was gunna take over chem class. but then he also got job as sci head teacher at another school. so atm i have no chem or physics teacher. And i prob wont for a while cuz until we get some more sci teachers hired we have no one. So i was thinking i should just get textbooks for chem and physics and try to learn the stuff myself cuz i really dont want to sit there and learn nothing and waste my time. any suggestions?

Learn it off yourself and get some help from tutors, thats pretty much your option.

you're probably going to have to ask another teacher who teaches the same subject, or tutors as mentioned!
If you use a text book, which is very good, it shouldn't be too bad while they are gone.

I came back to school to find that i was without a maths teacher for about 2 weeks, but its general maths and we know most of the stuff from year 10, plus our school got an old math teacher in who is a substitute!

i don't know what text-book to suggest, but I would advise downloading the syllabus and just going through each dot-point.
coz they're sciences you're going to miss out on pracs probably, but most of them are pointless and predictable anyway.
