Summer Heights High

Introduction to three individuals whose daily lives are documented over one school term at Summer Heights High School. 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.

Mr G takes severe measures to avoid including disabled students in his musical. Ja’mie goes on a hunger strike, blackmailing the school to let her put on a Year 11 formal. Jonah is forced to become a mentor to an overweight Year 7 student.

Mr G: The Musical is in jeopardy when cast members quit after too much of Mr G’s verbal abuse. Ja’mie shocks her friends with a surprise formal date. Jonah gets into an altercation with his breakdancing nemesis, Keiran, after he laughs at Jonah during a Polynesian themed assembly.

Mr G resigns when he’s demoted from his position, and stalks the school. Ja'mie organises a fashion parade for AIDS, but is actually raising money to buy her way out of overspending on the Year 11 formal. After the school bans Jonah from breakdancing, his father threatens to send him back to Tonga if there is any more trouble.

The curtain rises on “Mr G: The Musical - An Arena Spectacular”. Ja'mie is dumped by her formal date hours before it starts. Jonah is forced to face the Principal in a meeting that changes his future forever.
