Monica and the Fifth

A boarding-school tale follows a Fifth-form pupil and her classmates as they settle into a new term, confront social tensions, and take on responsibilities under prefect leadership. A debate over entering a county hockey shield becomes a focal point for leadership, teamwork, and practical problems such as finding a goalkeeper, while other episodes introduce a pupil treated as an outsider, startling confessions, a missing envelope or item that sparks an investigation, a paper-chase and a riddle. Through cooperative effort, personal discoveries and delayed judgments, friendships are tested and characters learn about responsibility, loyalty and growing up.
