S1 Curriculum Survey

We are looking at what subjects you get in S1 and how they are organised. Some subjects are in rotation (for example, Art/Music/Drama/Graphics or Biology/Chemistry/Physics). This should mean fewer teachers to get to know, and less homework and assessments at the same time (the exams for Bio/Che/Phy are spread throughout the year, rather than with all your other subjects in May) but we would like to know if you agree with this.
