...I take it "High School" in the U.S. is the equivalent of "Secondary College" in Australia...
Yup. Calling themselves a "secondary college" is just a fancible term some high schools like to use. Gives them delusions of adequacy.
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

In Canberra, high schools only went up to year 10, while the secondary colleges had years 11 and 12.

oh for fuck's sake, I was joking
Sorry. I forgot Adelaide was the only Australian city Aussies are allowed to piss on. Won't make that mistake again sir. Sooooooooooo fucking sorry.
There, happy now?

Not particularly. Canberra gets flak all the time, and it's not joking. Plenty of places around the country are the butt of jokes (Adelaide is way down the list), but Canberra's the only place that deals with actual contempt. Canberra's the only one the rest of the country is actually resentful about.
