I can't comment about SA but it is certainly not compulsory to study any sciences beyond yr 10 in NSW. My son who is studying for his HSC has chosen not to do any sciences. He does 4 units of English plus history, maths etc. Despite both of his parents being scientists ( of sorts), this is what he chose. Clearly studying sciences is not for everyone at HSC level and it would be counterproductive to have it compulsory.
