Tue, Jun 22, 201022 mins

The Endless Summer has, well? - ended and Lockie Leonard and his family brace themselves for the new school year ahead. But what will it bring - more of the same, or will it be New and Improved? Mum laments the end of the holidays, dreading what's ahead - the homework; the school lunches - She only had children so she'd have someone to play with. Who mentioned anything about sending them to school? Phillip, however, can barely contain his excitement. He's starting high school one year early, and looks forward to the new scientific horizons he imagines it will offer. Lockie isn't sure how to break it to him that Angelus High is hardly NASA. As for Lockie, his big question is whether this year will include Vicki Streeton. As in his girlfriend - who has yet to return from an overseas family vacation and may, quite possibly, have already checked-in to a fancy city boarding school. He'd probably be less stressed out if she'd sent him more than the one postcard.
