A sweeping view of a grand two-storey school building. Words above its entrance read: Ad Astra Per Aspera, and below this, Whāia Te Iti Kahurangi. A purple banner appears at the bottom of the screen with overlapping triangles in purple and teal at the start. Text in the banner reads: Rotorua Boys’ High School, Bay of Plenty. Rows of teenage boys in blazers and ties perform a haka in the carpark outside the two-storey school building. A trio of boys wearing red and blue uniform windbreaker jackets walk across a cobbled area in front of a building with a shield emblem above its large windows.

A large group of students in their red and blue windbreakers gather around the teacher. A woman with her long brown hair tied back wears a red scarf. She speaks animatedly, moving her hand. A troupe of students in beige-coloured shirts perform a haka. A teenager boy with short dark hair does a pūkana. Teens in street clothes sit at white tables, eating a meal at night.

In a library, a woman in a denim jacket sits beside a teenage boy in a striped school blazer. They look over documents with a man in a white shirt. A man in a checked shirt and brown shoes also sits at the table. The library wall beside their table is covered in a thick mat of plastic plants. A man in a hoodie enters a dorm room with two students. The room has a set of wooden bunk beds against one wall. One of the boys opens a drawer to show the man neatly stored clothes. In the school library, a student in a beige-coloured polo shirt stands at a table. He reads from a cue card. A student sits at the table beside him, and a third, wearing the red and blue windbreaker, stands watching as he holds a document.  A group of students at a different library table applaud.
