Clip description
Headmaster Carson (John Gregg) invites student Marco (Danny Raco) to be his partner at an inter-school lawn bowls competition. Meanwhile Zac (Luke Jacobz) and Tess (Katherine Hicks) continue to explore Tess’s belief in the paranormal. When Zac confides in Tess about his mother’s death, Tess invites him to a séance to come to terms with his loss.
Curator’s notes
The lawn bowl challenge provides light relief from the more intense stories concerning Drazic’s criminal charge, and Tess and Zac. The gentle and respectful relationship between Carson and Marco also demonstrates one of the positive teacher-student interactions in the series.
Later episodes saw a reduction in the number of adult characters and stories in the show. Executive producer Ben Gannon comments in an interview on the Heartbreak High website:
Our target was a core teenage audience. There was a tug of war dealing between what the two audiences would want to see. We basically thought that the adult stories should only impact through the kids’ stories, so that they weren’t standalone.
