Don’t miss the world premiere of Worst Year of My Life, Again!

The brand new Australian children’s comedy drama Worst Year of My Life, Again! will begin its broadcast on Saturday 26 April at 6pm on ABC3.

The 13 part series follows Alex King, who has to relive the most excruciating 12 months of high school all over again when time resets on his birthday. Eventually, his friends convince him he’s being offered a second chance to get things right.

Worst Year of My Life, Again! is a comedy about friendship, destiny and second chances.

Schools with a Screenrights licence are permitted to copy the episode from television to use within the classroom - so don’t forget to set your TV recorder!

Whilst viewing the television series, students explore their own personal and social capabilities and the ethical implications of decision making.

An Australian Curriculum aligned Worst Year of My Life, Again! Study Guide is freely available to teachers.
