Mr G, is an ego-driven drama teacher on a mission to change the face of drama education. Ja'mie King is a bitchy private school girl on a student exchange, set to make her mark. Jonah Takalua is a mischievous schoolboy with the odds stacked against him.

Mr G takes over the drama department, naming himself the Director of Performing Arts and causing chaos at the school. Ja’mie has her first day at Summer Heights High, joining the popular group and assaulting them with her views on public education. Jonah finds it difficult to stick to his Polynesian Pathways contract but reveals his secret desire to learn how to read.

A school tragedy inspires the theme for Mr G's new musical. Ja’mie decides to date a Year 7 boy. Jonah arrives at school with semen stained pants which jeopardises his chance to challenge his breakdancing nemesis at the Junior School Dance.

Mr G puts the students through a gruelling audition process for Annabel Dickson: The Musical. Ja’mie is dumped by her group of friends, and passes out during a mediation session. Jonah falsely accuses his father of molestation to get out of an English assignment.
