Summer Heights High (2007) s01e08 Episode Script
Episode 8
# School these days # You 'd have to be a fool these days # That will be the new bell sound for today, everyone because tonight is the premiere performance of 'Mr G The Musical'.
In a matter of hours, the audience will file in and the arena will ignite with 'Mr G The Musical'.
Here's our star, our Mr G for tonight.
I've taken Toby out of special education for the day to do some intensive rehearsal to make sure he's ready for tonight.
Not nervous? You 're not going to be nervous, are you? No.
No, don't want you stuffing up.
Hello, what's its name again? Arnold.
This is Rodney's dog, who's going to play Celine tonight in the show.
Aren't you, Arnold? Sit! I'm in my casuals today.
Well, I've got my show T-shirt on, 'cause I'm not officially teaching at the school anymore.
I'm just back directing the show on a freelance basis.
Um, the staff are all freaking out about it.
Sit, Arnold.
With Celine, it was just a just a hand gesture for sitting.
Didn't even have to say anything.
Sit.
You can see from the brain size in comparison to the body, that's that's not a not a large brain.
No.
I'll just stick balloons over here.
Oh, we're just setting up for tonight's formal.
We've got the staffroom.
We're just trying to do what we can with it.
When I say I want streamers on the wall, I don't want friggin' balloons.
Get off the chair.
Get OFF the chair.
Can I get a white streamer worked into that? Don't be throwing them.
It's not some kind of fun activity.
I'm so excited.
I had my hair extensions done.
They look awesome.
Everyone's, like, complimenting me about them.
Do they look good, guys? Yes.
They look so hot! And I had my spray tan done.
I went for 'T ahitian Princess', which is, like, a little bit darker than the other girls, but I've got, like, the face to carry it off.
See, it's like darker.
Only do the pink and white.
Who blew this up? Who blew that up? Teachers, can you get out in, like, 10 to 15? I'm serious, teachers.
Oh, my God! The sculpture! What is it? I wanted the swan.
It's amazing, but it's a bird of paradise.
It's beautiful - it'll be gorgeous.
I wanted a swan.
It looks shit.
Everyone is SO pumped! Are you guys pumped for the formal? I'm so pumped.
Oh, my God! I'm pumped for the formal! Sadly, I believe we've got some very serious issues here.
I believe that Jonah has some serious behavioural problems which are really impacting on the safe environment that we like to offer students in this school, and I'm afraid it can't continue.
A lot of students are very afraid of Jonah and what he'll do to them.
I deal with Year 7 s on a daily basis who are very afraid of him.
Bullshit.
The fact here is you have threatened a teacher.
I had Miss Wheatley in my office yesterday, and she was very, very upset.
She's a fuckin' liar.
Jonah, don't make it any worse, please.
Threatening a teacher is an extremely serious business and we cannot tolerate it in this school.
Mr Takalua, we believe there's no more we can do for Jonah Sorry, Margaret.
No, no.
You go on.
We feel that it's time to ask Jonah to move on from Summer Heights High.
I'm sorry to say that.
Look, he's got no mother.
Now, I'm gonna keep him on the Ritalin to calm him down a bit.
So I'm really happy for him to stay here if you can allow him another one more chance.
I'm sorry.
I have to consider the safety of my staff.
It's really beyond the point where we can look at making, you know, new changes or trying again.
We do have to ask him to leave.
We'll obviously try and find a school to transfer him to, and do you have any thoughts on the subject? Oh, I'll just have to send him back to Tonga to stay with his uncle.
Right, well, that'll be a family decision which.
Clearly, I'll have to leave you to make.
Well, I guess that's it.
Um, is there anything else that you want to say to us before you go? OK, well, um, you go and clean out your locker, then.
Mr Takalua, I'll have to ask you to stay here and complete some paperwork.
I wanna go for, like, a smoky eye and sort of really glossy lips.
Um, I don't wanna look I don't wanna look slut.
Like, not slut, but sort of semi-slut.
Do you know what I mean? Yep.
What you 're doing's good.
Yeah, my limo's arriving at 7:10.
So we're in the one before you? You guys are going before me, yes.
I'm arriving last.
No offence, Holly, but you look borderline emo in that.
It's not emo.
I should take my iPod off.
God, I can't believe Tamsin hasn't texted me! Tamsin is not texting me back, guys.
I've texted her, like, 50 times.
She's supposed to be getting ready with us.
Maybe she ran out of credit.
I'm going with a lesbian, tonight, to the formal.
Yeah.
I'm not one - I'm just going with one 'cause she's really hot.
OK, we're gonna start we're gonna start again with a Hello! Here he is.
I was starting to get worried.
What's the excuse this time? Nothing, miss.
Are you in trouble? No, miss.
OK, well, you can join us.
We are playing, Spell Attack.
Hey, what happened? Did you get busted again? No.
What did Ms Murray say? Nothing.
Shut up.
Hands up straight, remember that? Spell attack - elephant.
Jonah, you know this one.
What about you? Nah.
After the speeches, we should totally, like, go straight into music and, like, hit the dance floor.
Yeah, 'cause I'm gonna be pissed by the time I get there.
Boys look hotter when you 're drunk as well.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Stupid bitch! What? Stupid lesbian bitch! Oh, my God! Tamsin's not coming to the formal with me 'cause she found out that I'm not really a lesbian.
Are you OK? No, I'm not OK! She's not coming! Oh, my God! I've got, like, four hours to the formal, guys! What am I gonna do? Find someone else, Ja'mie.
Stupid, selfish bitch! We'll sort something out.
I'm freaking out! It's alright.
You 'll be fine.
No, it's alright for you guys.
I have no date for the formal! OK, that's good.
What's another word we could use in this sentence instead of 'outdoors'? Just hold on there.
We've got a visitor.
Excuse me, Jan.
Did you do something wrong? OK, Jonah.
Come on, mate.
Come with me.
I didn't say, "Go to Gumnut Cottage.
" I said, "Go and empty out your locker.
" Come on.
Just go, bro.
It'll get more more messy.
Don't make a scene, Jonah.
Get up out of the chair, come with me.
Come on.
Jonah! Get out! Fuck off! Fuck off, sir! Leave him alone! You 're hurting him! Leave him alone! Fuck you, sir! Fuck you, sir! You go and sit down, Leon! Leon, just calm down.
Leon Jonah, please, just go with him.
Fuck off, sir! Leon! Fuck you, sir! Just go, Jonah.

Coming through to you, Greg.
Good.
Over.
Mr G The Musical! Everyone, go into first positions.
We're going on! This is gonna be huge! Go, go, go, go, go.
Move in.
Um, it's just across the playground.
Where is Ja'mie? Like, the limo was meant to pick her up at 7:10.
I'm seriously getting worried.
She wouldn't have come without a partner.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! She looks so hot! Oh, my God! No way! How good does her hair look?! Take a photo.
Take a photo.
Oh, my God! Does anyone have a camera? You look incredible! Hi.
Did it look good? Did I look hot? Did you get a photo? That looks so cute! How good is it? Look at this.
Oh, my God! Who's with you? Come out.
Here he is.
Does everyone remember Sebastian? You look so cute, Sebastian.
You look gorgeous.
Doesn't he look cute? Oh, my God! Let's go in, guys! OK! Let's have the best night of our lives! In the playground of today, children are faced with drugs, sex, suicide and anorexia.
It's just not right.
One man, one teacher, tried to make a difference.
That teacher's name was Mr G G, G, G, G.
# Sex and drugs # Summer Heights High # Sex and drugs and sex and drugs # It's a Bummer Heights High # Sex and drugs and sex and drugs # Summer Heights High # It's a Bummer Heights High.

Oh, my God! That looks hot.
Put phones away.
You shouldn't play on phones at formals.
# Ecstasy, ecstasy # E-E-E-E ecstasy # She's a naughty girl with a bad habit # Bad habit for drugs # She's a party girl with a bad habit # Bad habit for drugs # My name is Jessica.
Some kids call me a slut.
# And I've a dirty habit for ecstasy # Gimme it! I want it bad! No, Jessica! Don't get involved with drugs! It's too late, sir.
Nooooooo! # She's a naughty girl with a bad habit # Bad habit for drugs # Did you guys see all the randoms trying to suck up to me when we arrived? They're all like, "Hi, Ja'mie!" Like, as if I'm gonna talk to them.
Oh, my God! Did you guys see that fat ranga chick with the fairy wings? Where? Where? I know! She's over there.
Like, why would you? I know.
There's so many attention-seekers here.
It's so tragic.
Who wants? Me.
Yes, yes, yes.
Top it up.
I think mine's pretty full.
Hey, Sebastian, do you want some Breezer? It's yummy.
It's alcohol.
He's in Year 7.
He's 12 years old, Jess, not eight.
Arggh! Jessica! Jessica's dead! The drugs have killed her! Oh, my God! Celine! She's been hit by a car! She's dead! Jessica, you took ecstasy.
You should have listened to Mr G.
Oh, Celine, why did you run on the road? It's Rodney's fault for leaving the door of the gym open.
# Everything ends in sadness # Fulfilling all your fears # What goes up must come down # And it all ends in tears # But you don't have to worry # 'Cause you 're not here right now # And this world is a bad, bad place # And we wonder why or how # Oh, Celine! # Oh, Jessica! # Those damn drugs, that bloody car! # You look just like you did in your bed # Except, this time, you 're dead # Except, this time, you 're dead # Except, this time, you 're dead # Oh, Celine # Jessica # Celine.
# The next award goes to the hottest exchange student.
And the award goes to Ja'mie King.
Oh, my God! Thank you so much.
Thanks, everyone.
Oh, my God, that's so random! I didn't think I was gonna win it.
Um, can I just say it's my last couple of weeks at Summer Heights, and I've had a really amazing time, and I hope you guys have had an awesome time having me here.
Um, I've done so much in the time that I've been here, like my SRC committee and my AIDS charity work.
Um, and I hope tonight's formal has taught you guys that, just because you go to a public school and you 're povo, it doesn't mean that you can't have a good time - do you know what I mean? Seriously, like, stop worrying about money, get over it and just have an amazing time! We're gonna hit the dance floor now! Ashley, press 'play', please.
Oh, my God.
We look so hot! Sebastian! Let's get Sebastian! Sebastian! Come on! You look so hot, Ja'mie.
Get Mr Cameron! Mr Cameron! Get him! Hands in the air! Shush.
A little bit of quiet, please.
Quiet, please.
Can I have some light on me? Uh, just a quick announcement before we do our finale.
Everyone, I hope you 're enjoying the show.
Well done, cast.
So far.
Um, as most of you know, I am no longer teaching here.
I was driven out due to mistreatment and general abuse.
Um, tonight was supposed to be an arena spectacular, but due to the selfishness of your principal, you are seated on the floor.
I've always faced my critics, but I think tonight's show has put a lot of egg on the face of my sceptics.
Yay for the show.
I'm a dreamer, and I always will be.
So, if you are willing to let me be me, then, as of Monday, I am coming back to teach! Coming back to teach, everyone! OK, who wants me to stay on for the finale? Should I stay on for the finale? Yes? Yes? Should I, cast? Should I stay on? Yes! OK.
You head off, please, Toby.
Alright, music, thank you.
# When you 're all alone in this big, wide world # You just can't find your place # And you wanna tell the children # Of all the human race # The special ones, the normal ones # The Chinese ones as well # It just ain't right to lose a child's life # So lift your nose and smell the smell # Aah-aah # Aah-aah-aah-aah # Aah-aah-aah # The smell of life # The smell of children # The smell of doing it together # The smell of life # I'd be alive if I took the advice # The advice of Mr G # You don't need sex # And you don't need drugs # Yeah! # 'Cause life is ecstasy # The smell of life # The smell of children # The smell of doing it together # The smell of life # Ooh, the smell of life # The smell of life # Yeah, yeah, yeah # The smell of life # The smell of children # The smell of doing it together # Forever and ever # Yeah, we should wag class.
We can go sit on the oval and My God, it's my last day.
It's so sad! When the bell goes, I'm just gonna lose it.
I'm going back to Hillford next term, so Everyone's been writing on my uniform.
It looks so cool! It's, like, "Ja'mie's so hot.
" I know.
We're gonna get Mr Cameron to, like, write here or something.
Like, just as a joke.
Like, he won't do it.
Shut up! Me and Sebastian are officially going out now, which is SO cool.
Like, we're really it's different now.
We're really into each other.
Hey, Sebastian! Don't! Hey, don't do it! We're gonna try a long-distance relationship, and, like, on weekends, his mum's gonna drop him over at my place.
Yeah, which will be SO cool.
He can stay over.
Maybe.
But he's gotta text me four times a day.
That's one of the rules.
Um, even if it's just, like, "Hi, babe," or, like, a smiley face or something.
'XX', whatever.
Yeah, or, like, "Missing you.
" I'm still really pissed off that Tamsin dumped me hours before the formal.
And she's SO jealous of you and Sebastian now.
I know.
It is SO obvious.
She yelled out the other day, "Ja'mie, you 're a paedophile," 'cause I'm going out with a Year 7.
It's like, "Get over it!" "But you 're a lesbian!" She's just an ugly lesbian.
I'd rather be a paedophile than a lesbian, seriously.
Well, it's been a whirlwind, the last couple of weeks of term.
The show was a huge hit, and we just did the one night.
Ticket sales weren't great, and I blame the seating issue for that.
And, yes, I finally got my performing arts centre.
Margaret's popped me into one of the demountables, which is great.
I've moved into where the special ed kids were.
They got kicked out, actually.
Unfortunately, someone kept finding poo on the floor, and the kids got moved out.
So that's where I've ended up, and I'm pretty happy.
Did you find it? Good.
Don't crease it.
Wait, don't bend the poster.
I asked you not to bend it.
It's going in the time capsule.
Toby's still here.
He's part of the new integration program.
So we've integrated him in with the normal kids, which is really fun.
Is it fun for you? Yes.
Yeah, it's very fun.
Yep, OK.
Let go.
In 100 years time, people are gonna dig it up and find all these great things inside.
And they'll learn all about the drama department, and about Who's that? Mr G.
Mr G.
That's you.
Who's that? Mr G.
That's one of my favourite shots of me.
That's all going in.
I've got doubles, so I'm right with that.
" all the money to the bank, and then he got rich forever.
" The end.
Well read, Leon.
Thank you very much.
Our next young reader is Ethan.
Hey, bro.
Bro.
Jonah's outside.
He's in the playground.
" It was a sunny on the day of the shooting.
"The kids were all busy working in the classroom.
"The first gunshot was heard from the science rooms, "where the Year 8s were working.
"The teacher, Mr Jeffries, was freaked out.
" Look at you, mister.
You scrub up alright.
Thanks, miss.
You 're here to read, I hope.
Yeah.
But if I get caught, I'll get busted, so It's a secret.
I won't tell anyone.
"The girls screamed as they" Lowering in the time capsule.
Watching, everyone.
This is it.
Say goodbye.
See you in 100 years.
OK.
Yay for the new performing arts centre.
OK, Rodney.
Filling in, please.
Oh, Celine! We forgot Celine! Where is she? Celine! She'll miss the whole thing.
Celine, come on.
Good girl.
Well, the big news is Celine didn't die.
She was rushed to hospital after the accident, and she was in intensive care for a couple of days.
She had a crushed vertebrae.
I didn't want her to be in the production in a wheelchair.
I thought that would look a bit weird.
Um, so I kept it a secret until last week, when I revealed to everyone that she was still alive.
And this guy had a heart attack when you saw her.
Oh, yeah.
After having got the wreath made and everything, it made me look a bit stupid, but, no, it's great that she's back.
Gentle.
Gentle.
Little touches.
Enough.
Unfortunately, because of Celine's paralysis, she's lost the use of the anus muscles in her rear end, so when it comes to toilet time, I have to Well, it's just a manual function.
I have to squeeze the poo out.
So we do that.
We do it twice a day, and it works out just fine.
There's just one more of my Gumnut boys who's going to read for us today.
This is a boy who's leaving us very soon to go back and live in Tonga.
So, Jonah Thank you.
" Being a fob is mad "because you are good "at breakdancing.
"You are good at "being tough.
"Teachers at this school are gay.
"All of all of think "think" Leon, do you wanna go and help Jonah? Yeah.
What's this? "All of them.
" " All of them "think they know shit, "but they don't.
"Except Mrs Palmer.
" "Except Mrs Palmer, who is mad.
"And I am fully grateful "for her for wasting "her time with me.
"Now I can read "And in Tonga.
" "and in Tonga, I will read books every day.
" The end.
You have to text me every day, OK? Swear on our relationship that you will.
I will.
And don't hang out with any Year 7 girls.
I'll hear about it if you do.
Um, there's your phone.
I stole it out of your bag.
Just wanted to check your messages.
And put a photo of me on your screen, please.
I've got you on my BlackBerry.
Jonah! Hey, Sir.
Hey, I heard you were here today.
Yeah.
I just wanted to say good luck in Tonga, mate.
Thanks, sir.
I'm very disappointed it hasn't worked out.
No worries, sir.
Just one of those 'square peg in a round hole' situations, eh? Yeah.
You 're a good bloke, sir.
Good on you there, mate.
Alright.
Thanks, sir.
Oh, my God! I can't believe you 're leaving! It's gonna be so empty without you.
You guys are gonna be so lost without me.
Oh, my God! Are we gonna see you during the holidays, though? Oh, yeah, maybe.
I'm pretty busy.
Give me a hug.
Oh, my God! We should go out sometime! Please? Um, yeah, maybe.
I go out in the city, so it might be weird.
We can come to the city.
Oh, my God! I'm gonna miss you guys so much! See you, Ja'mie.
It was great knowing you.
Is she gone? Yep.
Good.
Yep.
There's Keiran.
Let's go punk him or something.
Let's go punk him! Why do you always wanna punk people? Just leave him alone.
Let's just go! Just leave him.
Celine, do not run onto the road, please! Come here! Stupid dog.
OK, 'bye, everyone.
See you later.
See you, Mark.
High five for the holidays.
See you then, mate.
Turn me up, please.
Turn me up a bit.
Two.
Bit more treble.
Treble.
See you later, guys! See you next term.
Oh, my God! Here comes my mum! Oh, my God! My friend Brianna's here! She said she'd come.
She brought the blazer! Yes! Oh, my God! Where's my bag? Sorry.
OK, cool.
Don't come out.
Stay at the gate.
It kind of it's like it symbolises public, private.
Hey, how you going?! Hi, babe! Give me the blazer! Oh, my God! I am officially a Hillford girl again! Let's go.
'Bye, everyone! Text me, Sebastian.
We'll miss you! 'Bye! 'Bye, everyone! Public schools rock! Well, good luck.

It doesn't matter.
Let's go, boys.
Let's go.
Fuck you! Fuck you, car.
Come and get me, car! Come on! Check that fuckin' driver! Get a sense of humour, car! Fuck you! Don't you even know what fun is? We spent a term in each other's schools to experience the difference.
And what we discovered is there isn't one.
No matter what kind of school.
Kids across Australia are experiencing a rich education.
Government-funded education looks after everyone.
It's all about learning.
It's all about education.
It's All About Education is a message from the Department of Education.
Science and Training.
Spoken by P.
Robinson.
C.
Kwong and J.
King.

You can see from the brain size in comparison to the body, that's that's not a not a large brain.
No.
I'll just stick balloons over here.
Oh, we're just setting up for tonight's formal.
We've got the staffroom.
We're just trying to do what we can with it.
When I say I want streamers on the wall, I don't want friggin' balloons.
Get off the chair.
Get OFF the chair.
Can I get a white streamer worked into that? Don't be throwing them.
It's not some kind of fun activity.
I'm so excited.
I had my hair extensions done.
They look awesome.
Everyone's, like, complimenting me about them.
Do they look good, guys? Yes.
They look so hot! And I had my spray tan done.
I went for 'T ahitian Princess', which is, like, a little bit darker than the other girls, but I've got, like, the face to carry it off.
See, it's like darker.
Only do the pink and white.
Who blew this up? Who blew that up? Teachers, can you get out in, like, 10 to 15? I'm serious, teachers.

No, no.
You go on.
We feel that it's time to ask Jonah to move on from Summer Heights High.
I'm sorry to say that.
Look, he's got no mother.
Now, I'm gonna keep him on the Ritalin to calm him down a bit.
So I'm really happy for him to stay here if you can allow him another one more chance.
I'm sorry.
I have to consider the safety of my staff.
It's really beyond the point where we can look at making, you know, new changes or trying again.
We do have to ask him to leave.
We'll obviously try and find a school to transfer him to, and do you have any thoughts on the subject? Oh, I'll just have to send him back to Tonga to stay with his uncle.
Right, well, that'll be a family decision which.
Clearly, I'll have to leave you to make.
Well, I guess that's it.
Um, is there anything else that you want to say to us before you go? OK, well, um, you go and clean out your locker, then.
Mr Takalua, I'll have to ask you to stay here and complete some paperwork.
I wanna go for, like, a smoky eye and sort of really glossy lips.
Um, I don't wanna look I don't wanna look slut.
Like, not slut, but sort of semi-slut.
Do you know what I mean? Yep.

After the speeches, we should totally, like, go straight into music and, like, hit the dance floor.
Yeah, 'cause I'm gonna be pissed by the time I get there.
Boys look hotter when you 're drunk as well.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Stupid bitch! What? Stupid lesbian bitch! Oh, my God! Tamsin's not coming to the formal with me 'cause she found out that I'm not really a lesbian.
Are you OK? No, I'm not OK! She's not coming! Oh, my God! I've got, like, four hours to the formal, guys! What am I gonna do? Find someone else, Ja'mie.
Stupid, selfish bitch! We'll sort something out.
I'm freaking out! It's alright.
You 'll be fine.
No, it's alright for you guys.
I have no date for the formal! OK, that's good.
What's another word we could use in this sentence instead of 'outdoors'? Just hold on there.
We've got a visitor.
Excuse me, Jan.
Did you do something wrong? OK, Jonah.
Come on, mate.
Come with me.
I didn't say, "Go to Gumnut Cottage.
" I said, "Go and empty out your locker.
" Come on.
Just go, bro.
It'll get more more messy.
Don't make a scene, Jonah.
Get up out of the chair, come with me.
Come on.
Jonah! Get out! Fuck off! Fuck off, sir! Leave him alone! You 're hurting him! Leave him alone! Fuck you, sir! Fuck you, sir! You go and sit down, Leon! Leon, just calm down.
Leon Jonah, please, just go with him.
Fuck off, sir! Leon! Fuck you, sir! Just go, Jonah.

We're going on! This is gonna be huge! Go, go, go, go, go.
Move in.
Um, it's just across the playground.
Where is Ja'mie? Like, the limo was meant to pick her up at 7:10.
I'm seriously getting worried.
She wouldn't have come without a partner.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! She looks so hot! Oh, my God! No way! How good does her hair look?! Take a photo.
Take a photo.
Oh, my God! Does anyone have a camera? You look incredible! Hi.
Did it look good? Did I look hot? Did you get a photo? That looks so cute! How good is it? Look at this.
Oh, my God! Who's with you? Come out.
Here he is.
Does everyone remember Sebastian? You look so cute, Sebastian.
You look gorgeous.
Doesn't he look cute? Oh, my God! Let's go in, guys! OK! Let's have the best night of our lives! In the playground of today, children are faced with drugs, sex, suicide and anorexia.
It's just not right.
One man, one teacher, tried to make a difference.
That teacher's name was Mr G G, G, G, G.
# Sex and drugs # Summer Heights High # Sex and drugs and sex and drugs # It's a Bummer Heights High # Sex and drugs and sex and drugs # Summer Heights High # It's a Bummer Heights High.
# # My name is Mr G # Three talents, one, two, three # Singing and dancing and acting is my life # I'm a teacher, that's for sure # In a world of crazy kids # At Summer Heights # High.
# Hey, kids, it's time for school! It's like one of those really cool nightclubs with, like, a theme.
Like, 'school' or something.
Yeah, totally.
Do you know what I mean? There's all teachery Oh, my God! The boys are getting along so well as well.
I know.
It's SO cute! He looks so hot in a suit, doesn't he? He does.
He looks hot.
Do you guys wanna do a phone photo? Yes! Let's do a photo! Show me.
Oh, my God! That looks hot.
Put phones away.
You shouldn't play on phones at formals.
# Ecstasy, ecstasy # E-E-E-E ecstasy # She's a naughty girl with a bad habit # Bad habit for drugs # She's a party girl with a bad habit # Bad habit for drugs # My name is Jessica.
Some kids call me a slut.
# And I've a dirty habit for ecstasy # Gimme it! I want it bad! No, Jessica! Don't get involved with drugs! It's too late, sir.
Nooooooo! # She's a naughty girl with a bad habit # Bad habit for drugs # Did you guys see all the randoms trying to suck up to me when we arrived? They're all like, "Hi, Ja'mie!" Like, as if I'm gonna talk to them.
Oh, my God! Did you guys see that fat ranga chick with the fairy wings? Where? Where? I know! She's over there.
Like, why would you? I know.
There's so many attention-seekers here.
It's so tragic.
Who wants? Me.
Yes, yes, yes.
Top it up.
I think mine's pretty full.
Hey, Sebastian, do you want some Breezer? It's yummy.
It's alcohol.
He's in Year 7.
He's 12 years old, Jess, not eight.
Arggh! Jessica! Jessica's dead! The drugs have killed her! Oh, my God! Celine! She's been hit by a car! She's dead! Jessica, you took ecstasy.
You should have listened to Mr G.
Oh, Celine, why did you run on the road? It's Rodney's fault for leaving the door of the gym open.
# Everything ends in sadness # Fulfilling all your fears # What goes up must come down # And it all ends in tears # But you don't have to worry # 'Cause you 're not here right now # And this world is a bad, bad place # And we wonder why or how # Oh, Celine! # Oh, Jessica! # Those damn drugs, that bloody car! # You look just like you did in your bed # Except, this time, you 're dead # Except, this time, you 're dead # Except, this time, you 're dead # Oh, Celine # Jessica # Celine.
# The next award goes to the hottest exchange student.
And the award goes to Ja'mie King.
Oh, my God! Thank you so much.
Thanks, everyone.
Oh, my God, that's so random! I didn't think I was gonna win it.
Um, can I just say it's my last couple of weeks at Summer Heights, and I've had a really amazing time, and I hope you guys have had an awesome time having me here.
Um, I've done so much in the time that I've been here, like my SRC committee and my AIDS charity work.
Um, and I hope tonight's formal has taught you guys that, just because you go to a public school and you 're povo, it doesn't mean that you can't have a good time - do you know what I mean? Seriously, like, stop worrying about money, get over it and just have an amazing time! We're gonna hit the dance floor now! Ashley, press 'play', please.
Oh, my God.
We look so hot! Sebastian! Let's get Sebastian! Sebastian! Come on! You look so hot, Ja'mie.
Get Mr Cameron! Mr Cameron! Get him! Hands in the air! Shush.
A little bit of quiet, please.
Quiet, please.
Can I have some light on me? Uh, just a quick announcement before we do our finale.
Everyone, I hope you 're enjoying the show.
Well done, cast.
So far.
Um, as most of you know, I am no longer teaching here.
I was driven out due to mistreatment and general abuse.
Um, tonight was supposed to be an arena spectacular, but due to the selfishness of your principal, you are seated on the floor.
I've always faced my critics, but I think tonight's show has put a lot of egg on the face of my sceptics.
Yay for the show.
I'm a dreamer, and I always will be.
So, if you are willing to let me be me, then, as of Monday, I am coming back to teach! Coming back to teach, everyone! OK, who wants me to stay on for the finale? Should I stay on for the finale? Yes? Yes? Should I, cast? Should I stay on? Yes! OK.
You head off, please, Toby.
Alright, music, thank you.

We can go sit on the oval and My God, it's my last day.
It's so sad! When the bell goes, I'm just gonna lose it.
I'm going back to Hillford next term, so Everyone's been writing on my uniform.
It looks so cool! It's, like, "Ja'mie's so hot.
" I know.
We're gonna get Mr Cameron to, like, write here or something.
Like, just as a joke.
Like, he won't do it.
Shut up! Me and Sebastian are officially going out now, which is SO cool.
Like, we're really it's different now.
We're really into each other.
Hey, Sebastian! Don't! Hey, don't do it! We're gonna try a long-distance relationship, and, like, on weekends, his mum's gonna drop him over at my place.
Yeah, which will be SO cool.
He can stay over.
Maybe.
But he's gotta text me four times a day.
That's one of the rules.
Um, even if it's just, like, "Hi, babe," or, like, a smiley face or something.
'XX', whatever.
Yeah, or, like, "Missing you.
" I'm still really pissed off that Tamsin dumped me hours before the formal.
And she's SO jealous of you and Sebastian now.
I know.
It is SO obvious.
She yelled out the other day, "Ja'mie, you 're a paedophile," 'cause I'm going out with a Year 7.
It's like, "Get over it!" "But you 're a lesbian!" She's just an ugly lesbian.
I'd rather be a paedophile than a lesbian, seriously.
Well, it's been a whirlwind, the last couple of weeks of term.
The show was a huge hit, and we just did the one night.
Ticket sales weren't great, and I blame the seating issue for that.
And, yes, I finally got my performing arts centre.
Margaret's popped me into one of the demountables, which is great.
I've moved into where the special ed kids were.
They got kicked out, actually.
Unfortunately, someone kept finding poo on the floor, and the kids got moved out.
So that's where I've ended up, and I'm pretty happy.
Did you find it? Good.
Don't crease it.
Wait, don't bend the poster.
I asked you not to bend it.
It's going in the time capsule.
Toby's still here.
He's part of the new integration program.
So we've integrated him in with the normal kids, which is really fun.
Is it fun for you? Yes.
Yeah, it's very fun.
Yep, OK.
Let go.
In 100 years time, people are gonna dig it up and find all these great things inside.
And they'll learn all about the drama department, and about Who's that? Mr G.
Mr G.
That's you.
Who's that? Mr G.
That's one of my favourite shots of me.
That's all going in.
I've got doubles, so I'm right with that.
" all the money to the bank, and then he got rich forever.
" The end.
Well read, Leon.
Thank you very much.
Our next young reader is Ethan.
Hey, bro.
Bro.
Jonah's outside.
He's in the playground.
" It was a sunny on the day of the shooting.
"The kids were all busy working in the classroom.
"The first gunshot was heard from the science rooms, "where the Year 8s were working.
"The teacher, Mr Jeffries, was freaked out.
" Look at you, mister.
You scrub up alright.
Thanks, miss.
You 're here to read, I hope.
Yeah.
But if I get caught, I'll get busted, so It's a secret.
I won't tell anyone.
"The girls screamed as they" Lowering in the time capsule.
Watching, everyone.
This is it.
Say goodbye.
See you in 100 years.
OK.
Yay for the new performing arts centre.
OK, Rodney.
Filling in, please.
Oh, Celine! We forgot Celine! Where is she? Celine! She'll miss the whole thing.
Celine, come on.
Good girl.
Well, the big news is Celine didn't die.
She was rushed to hospital after the accident, and she was in intensive care for a couple of days.
She had a crushed vertebrae.
I didn't want her to be in the production in a wheelchair.
I thought that would look a bit weird.
Um, so I kept it a secret until last week, when I revealed to everyone that she was still alive.
And this guy had a heart attack when you saw her.
Oh, yeah.
After having got the wreath made and everything, it made me look a bit stupid, but, no, it's great that she's back.
Gentle.
Gentle.
Little touches.
Enough.
Unfortunately, because of Celine's paralysis, she's lost the use of the anus muscles in her rear end, so when it comes to toilet time, I have to Well, it's just a manual function.
I have to squeeze the poo out.
So we do that.
We do it twice a day, and it works out just fine.
There's just one more of my Gumnut boys who's going to read for us today.
This is a boy who's leaving us very soon to go back and live in Tonga.
So, Jonah Thank you.
" Being a fob is mad "because you are good "at breakdancing.
"You are good at "being tough.
"Teachers at this school are gay.
"All of all of think "think" Leon, do you wanna go and help Jonah? Yeah.
What's this? "All of them.
" " All of them "think they know shit, "but they don't.
"Except Mrs Palmer.
" "Except Mrs Palmer, who is mad.
"And I am fully grateful "for her for wasting "her time with me.
"Now I can read "And in Tonga.
" "and in Tonga, I will read books every day.
" The end.
You have to text me every day, OK? Swear on our relationship that you will.
I will.
And don't hang out with any Year 7 girls.
I'll hear about it if you do.
Um, there's your phone.
I stole it out of your bag.
Just wanted to check your messages.
And put a photo of me on your screen, please.
I've got you on my BlackBerry.
Jonah! Hey, Sir.
Hey, I heard you were here today.
Yeah.
I just wanted to say good luck in Tonga, mate.
Thanks, sir.
I'm very disappointed it hasn't worked out.
No worries, sir.
Just one of those 'square peg in a round hole' situations, eh? Yeah.
You 're a good bloke, sir.
Good on you there, mate.
Alright.
Thanks, sir.
Oh, my God! I can't believe you 're leaving! It's gonna be so empty without you.
You guys are gonna be so lost without me.
Oh, my God! Are we gonna see you during the holidays, though? Oh, yeah, maybe.
I'm pretty busy.
Give me a hug.
Oh, my God! We should go out sometime! Please? Um, yeah, maybe.
I go out in the city, so it might be weird.
We can come to the city.
Oh, my God! I'm gonna miss you guys so much! See you, Ja'mie.
It was great knowing you.
Is she gone? Yep.
Good.
Yep.
There's Keiran.
Let's go punk him or something.
Let's go punk him! Why do you always wanna punk people? Just leave him alone.
Let's just go! Just leave him.
Celine, do not run onto the road, please! Come here! Stupid dog.
OK, 'bye, everyone.
See you later.
See you, Mark.
High five for the holidays.
See you then, mate.
Turn me up, please.
Turn me up a bit.

Bit more treble.
Treble.
See you later, guys! See you next term.
Oh, my God! Here comes my mum! Oh, my God! My friend Brianna's here! She said she'd come.
She brought the blazer! Yes! Oh, my God! Where's my bag? Sorry.
OK, cool.
Don't come out.
Stay at the gate.
It kind of it's like it symbolises public, private.
Hey, how you going?! Hi, babe! Give me the blazer! Oh, my God! I am officially a Hillford girl again! Let's go.
'Bye, everyone! Text me, Sebastian.
We'll miss you! 'Bye! 'Bye, everyone! Public schools rock! Well, good luck.
Thanks, miss.
Why the fuck are you being nice to her, man? She's a bitch.
It doesn't matter.
Let's go, boys.
Let's go.
Fuck you! Fuck you, car.
Come and get me, car! Come on! Check that fuckin' driver! Get a sense of humour, car! Fuck you! Don't you even know what fun is? We spent a term in each other's schools to experience the difference.
And what we discovered is there isn't one.
No matter what kind of school.
Kids across Australia are experiencing a rich education.
Government-funded education looks after everyone.
It's all about learning.
It's all about education.
