Maths: Maths in Focus mainly but our maths teacher has heaps of good textbooks he lets us borrow.

Chem: Chemistry contexts and our teachers buying dotpoint chemistry

Bio: Biology in focus (pretty confusing textbook imo)

PDHPE: Its an oxford one and the Macquarie Prelim book too which is really good.

As you can see I dont have many sources or textbooks. I'm in the process of trying to find some good ones.

 

[lyounamu]

Well, gotta do some questions now​

From stores in Epping or few others from bosers.

There are a lot of bargains bos. So have a look around.

 

[Aerath]

where do you buy ure text books from?
there pretty expensive

Sometimes ex students from High come to our school and sell their books to current students for like $5-$10. Either that, or our library just leaves old tattered textbooks out for students to come and take for free.

Advanced English - Othello.
Extension Maths - Cambridge I also have a simple textbook known as Understanding Year 11 Mathematics, which covers through the basic concepts and provides exercises at the end.
