Life Science would be a good subject if you are attracted to it.
History – since it is generally about people, might be useful.
BUT, the most important thing is that you need to have at least 70% pass in most of your subjects. (They say a minimum of 60% but this is a hugely competitive area so you want to make sure you are accepted.) Remember that work at school gets more difficult every year so try to start in Grade 9 with 90% pass mark!
What will also benefit you is if you do related volunteer / community work in your school years.
