Heartbreak High

Heartbreak High is a well-known Australian TV series that aired for five years, from 1994 to 1999. The show focused on the lives of students at Hartley High, a challenging school located in a diverse area of Sydney. It stood out for its gritty and fast-paced narrative compared to many other shows of its time. Originating as a spin-off from the 1993 Australian film The Heartbreak Kid, which starred Alex Dimitriades and Claudia Karvan, the series initially centered on the school environment and the Poulos Family. However, in later seasons, the focus shifted more towards the students’ personal lives, including their homes and favorite hangout spot, the Shark Pool.
