On the Outside

Emma and Noor share everything: their love of surfing, summer skies and a friendship as deep as the ocean. But when Emma’s parents pressure her into accepting a place at the prestigious St Jude’s Ladies College, things begin to shift. At the same time, deeply-rooted racism starts to resurface in their school, within their community and even at their local beach. Emma finds herself immobilised by fear. Should she stay silent and move schools, or should she speak out and risk everything? A powerful story of friendship, courage and finding your voice when it matters most.
