I'm pretty sure NSG uses Cambridge for maths.

tbh, textbooks in y11 is redundant (barely touched mine)

nsg textbooks for maths is cambridge, sometimes fitzpatrick (only for extra practice q's in circle geo and trig tho)
chem - conquering chemistry? (I think that's what my mates use)
phys - jacaranda (terrible textbook ugh, so not concise and filled with useless stuff); use physics in focus for phys
jap - mirai, and get the tommy book for grammar

feel free to pm me if you want more info (same school hehe)

Maths In Focus Or Cambridge
English doesn't really need a textbook but hey if you need just get TopNotes...
Physics in Focus or Physics Jacaranda are really good books in my opinion but I lean to Physics in Focus as it's done structurally.

if your school's not already using this textbook in class then the Mathematics one by Margret Grove is pretty good!

are you srs??? Math in focus is bad-like...
Cambridge and Fitzpatrick are the best overall I think; Terry Lee's fundamental maths is good for combinatorics if you are bad at them and need worked solutions to understand how they work.
