Yeah I was wondering that too. I kept my Chem and Physics textbooks just in case I need to refer back to something basic later on. You can always sell then later if you find out that they are totally useless

I don't think you will need to keep your physics and chem books or any High school boks for uni, you get them when you get to uni.

I know I'll get them at Uni, but in courses where Phys and Chem are prerequisites, the textbooks then make you get might not include all the basic stuff we learned in High school.
Its just a safety net i suppose.

I used my physics and maths textbooks a couple of times - not often, but they were useful occassionally.

I don't want to be a teacher- I want to to be a child psychologist and what you learn in in Dip Ed (Primary) is good background knowledge. Also, there is not much work around for psychologists at the mo so it's a saftey net as well, people are always going to need teachers!!!
