Clip description

Primary school teacher Mrs Armstrong (Renee Newman-Storen) is preparing her class for an excursion to the fire station. Without explanation, she takes Frankie (Antionne Forrest-Yarran) out of class to be minded by another teacher (Geoff Kelso). Excluded from the excursion, a dejected Frankie colours in his drawing of a fire truck.

Curator’s notes

This clip shows how confusing and humiliated young Frankie feels when he is not allowed to attend the class excursion.
