Scene 01- 6BN
The scene opens on the Clifton Hill Primary School's Basket-Ball Courts, where kids are waiting for the bus. So much excitement! For some, this is the furthest and the longest they have been away from their home, their pets, and their parents. Some of them haven't been past Costco! So sit down, relax and enjoy the adventure they are about to embark on; the highs, the lows and some interesting Fauna. The plot of the story is [REDACTED]...
