Episode 7.01

A new term at Waterloo Road gets off to a noisy start when Karen arrives to discover the alarm going off and her new site manager, Rob Scotcher, taking a laid-back approach to the problem.

When a Year 12 pupil abandons and then claims her baby, Karen is concerned for the girl, her child and the dark secret she’s keeping.

New teachers Eleanor Chaudry and Daniel Chalk want to make a good impression, but the kids aren’t going to give them an easy ride. “Chalky” is instantly marked out as a soft target, while Ms Chaudry’s strict rules land Sambuca Kelly in the “cooler”. What Eleanor sees as unruly behaviour in Sambuca is just a personality clash according to Tom, but her erratic behaviour gives cause for concern.

Meanwhile, new boy Aiden Scotcher has caught the eye of Jess – but it’s her friend Vicki who’s got his attention.
