Session dates and venues to be announced
"Josie Alibrandi thinks she’s cursed. She loves her strict nonna and mum, but finds Italian customs embarrassing, and struggles to dodge nonna’s local ‘spy ring’ of busybodies. As a scholarship girl at prestigious St Martha’s, she also worries her working-class migrant heritage and illegitimate birth make her a target for posh bullies. Heading into Year 12, Josie’s already crushing on her debating buddy, the privileged son of a political dynasty, when she meets spunky state-school rebel Jacob, who drives … eww, a panel van? This year, Josie will study, party, fight, grieve, meet her long-lost biological dad, uncover buried secrets – and maybe find who she is." — MIFF
