The Plot:

It’s the final months of high school for Ja’mie, who’s back on the lush manicured lawns of Hillford Girls Grammar after the enduring the trials of Summer Heights High public school. But the “queen bee” isn’t resting on her laurels – she’s set her sights on winning the prestigious Hillford Medal given to the “Best Girl in Year 12.” Meanwhile, Ja’mie must continue to meet the responsibilities that come with being the best-known and most-feared girl on campus, while juggling her academic and charity work, social life and family relationships.
