Good Morning my name is Sam Wockner and today I will be analysing and expressing my thoughts on the show Summer Heights High.

Summer Heights High explores what happens over one school term in an “average” Australian high school in a mock form of a documentary. Media reports say some parts of the community where offended by the gags that draw upon drugs deaths and Down syndrome children.

Although Lilley’s mockumentaries partakes of both the pleasures of humour and the moral confidence of social critique‚ Lilley utilises another device in the critical arsenal of satire.

Summer is a time for kicking back‚ poppin a cold soda by the pool and listening to the Teen Pop Radio and your favorite country tunes. It’s a time where all stress is relieved and the C- in math is completely forgotten. What most people don’t realize is during these 9-12 weeks of complete relaxation‚ children are not working on what they thought was confusing in math‚ but instead experiencing the dreadful summer slide and making next year that much harder (Davis).

It shows people the governments’ true beliefs on same sex marriage and the way they are taking care of other issues.
