Synopsis

There will be times when you walk into a room and no one there is quite like you.

There are many reasons to feel different. Maybe it’s how you look or talk, or where you’re from; maybe it’s what you eat, or something just as random. It’s not easy to take those first steps into a place where nobody really knows you yet, but somehow you do it.

Angelina spent the summer holidays at home looking after her younger sister while her classmates spoke of their travels.

We acknowledge the Bedegal, Gadigal, Darug, and Dharawal people as the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we work.
