As the teen band wait for their final results, they reflect on the year they were supposed to take over the world – before it ‘kind of all crashed’
When Jessame Stepto left class one day in late March, her whole year group was “standing there in tears”, she says. Her inner-city Sydney school had told students to leave early to prepare for online learning, and no one knew when they’d be coming back. Or, for the year 12 cohort, if they’d be coming back at all.
“Everyone was hugging and that’s when I started to cry too,” Stepto says. “I know it’s kind of morbid, but I thought year 12 was over. It was a lot to take in.”
