The most popular girl in school has disappeared prompting a lockdown in the suburb of Pleasant Lakes. Fear and hysteria grip the community, but all is not what it seems. Amidst the chaos, two girls form an unlikely connection and collude in the construction of a gigantic lie. 

Inspired by media reports involving the story of a girl who faked her own abduction, Girl Who Cried Wolf examines the cult of celebrity and machination of the school playground hierarchy.

A reminder that Perth Modern School staff will be undertaking a Professional Development Day on Monday, 25 October 2021 and the school is closed to students on this day.
