Award winning Australian television mockumentary series written by and starring Chris Lilley.
According to the prologue, a production and filming team travelled to a typical Australian public high school and followed the events and daily lives surrounding the students and staff for one term. The team would film a documentary from the opinions of the students and staff, especially the three main characters (all potrayed Chris Lilley): Ja'mie King, a mean girl-type prefect exchanged from a private school; Mr G, a charismatic drama teacher; and Jonah Takalua, a stereotypical Pacific Islander delinquent, all played by the series' writer, Chris Lilley.
The series is filmed in a documentary style, with the supporting cast drawn from the real-life students and staff of the school where the series was filmed. The programme explored the facets of a typical Australian public high school such as social cliques, bullying, teenage slang, stereotyping, profanity, racism and homophobia by showcasing three different individuals: the bully, the exchange student (originally from a private school) and the teacher. The three main characters in the show do not interact with each other in any way; however, some secondary characters such as the school's principal, Ms. Murray, have appeared and been mentioned in the story of more than one main character.
