Sydney – peninsula

Pirriwee Public school sits on the fictional Pirriwee Peninsula near Sydney. A typical beach town with a beachy relaxed feeling in the air. It might look like an idyllic place to be but the school seems to be one hotbed of intrigue and inner turmoil. The School gate is a not so much a meeting of minds but a clash of conflicting personalities. And this beach side town has many personalities…

Jane comes to Pirriwee, keeps moving as she can’t seem to escape her past. But having made friends with the mums and children of this town, an incident creates a shadow over the entire community. Close knit or claustrophobic?

Seaside living sounds idyllic at first. The beaches , outdoor living- even the school has a balcony and the general sense that Jane first had on arrival, that this was a good place to settle….or not as the case may be.
