I took Stats, Music, PE and Triple Science (and a language, but that was compulsory). PE and music were purely for my enjoyment - love sport and music (don't get me wrong I am very athletic and musical, just I took them for the laugh).

well it depends what you want 2 be when ur older lol
my friend took
dance drama music and music tech, tht will be useful 2 her and probs not 2 u

In year 9 here we had to choose 6, or 5 if you were chosing a langauge. I did Literature, 3D (Art), IT, German and Robotics

I was in year 9 five years ago!!! But i picked:
- Geography
- photography
- wood work
- german (we had to do either german or french)

Then the other subjects we had to do were:
- English
- Maths
- Science
- R.E
- P.E
- ICT (although I did try to pick an extended ICT class but it got cancelled due to lack of interest)
