Things don't always go smoothly in Room C2. And that's okay.
Welcome to Banksia Street Specialist School, where eight students are learning that everyone has hard days-and everyone can learn to cope.
Riley gets excited and forgets to use his inside voice. Toby hates when things change. Noah likes things done HIS way. Ari prefers drawing to talking. Ben uses his iPad to speak, and sometimes people forget to wait. Jade worries about reading. Dylan struggles with jealousy. And Zara? Zara keeps everyone on track.
Together, these students navigate the ups and downs of school life. They lose things and find them again. They get frustrated and learn to calm down. They make mistakes and fix them. With support from their teacher Piper and aide Sam, the C2 class discovers that mistakes are okay, feelings are valid, and everyone deserves patience and respect.
