6!!Tropes included:
7%%* AbhorrentAdmirer: Syed to Amirah.

9* ActionGirl: Kieran, who's good at taekwondo.
10%%* {{Adorkable}}: Julie and Rosie.
11%%*LovableAlphaBitch: Amirah, who turns out to be pretty nice.
12%%*AlwaysInClassOne: All of the main characters are classmates of each other, even Wai Chong.
13%%* AmbiguouslyGay: Wai Chong when he swapped character with Amirah in the episode "Solar Eclipse".
14%%* AscendedExtra: Suresh in season 2.
15%%* {{Badass}}: Some characters share this trope:
16%%** BadassAdorable: Amirah and Luna.
17%%** BadassBookworm: Anding, Julie, Wai Chong, and Rosie.
18%%* BerserkButton: Do not do something wrong, because if you do, Wai Chong will chase you.
19%%* BigEater: Suresh.
20%%* TheBully: Atan Bin Awang.
21* CatchPhrase: Faiz's "Time to disappear!", Mindy's "sizzling news!", and Wai Chong's "don't run!"
22%%* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: See that guy sometimes laughing at the cast's antics in the corridor, he's has a plot of his on]]
23%%* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: When Syed and Suresh became probationary prefects, they wrongly executed the punishment for Faiz. The result: Faiz was given a month-off from school.
24%%* CryCute: Wai Chong, during episode 6 of season 3.
25%%* DisproportionateRetribution: Wai Chong spends most of his time chasing rule-breakers.
26* EarnYourHappyEnding: In episode 15, the students and Wai Chong teamed up together to outwit a ruthless bully named Atan Bin Awang, who has continuously beat up many students. When the voice of his mom is heard, he gets scared, but just as he was about to beat up the students, he is forced by his mom to come to the principal's office, which he eventually does. The students soon celebrate Atan's defeat at the hallway.
27* EvilPlan: In the episode "Fun Fun Fund", the students arrange an arcade game which involves hitting a ball at the target which causes a water bucket to spill its water on Syed. Well, there were two reasons behind this plan: the clubs of the school were running short on funds (the cooking club had to make sardine sandwiches without sardines, the cheerleading club only afforded one pompom, the music club did not buy a guitar and bought a ukulele instead, the sports club afforded literally HALF of the sports equipment, and the science club lacked the necessary ingredients for a project which resulted in a big explosion), and they wanted to teach Syed, who did nothing but prank others all day, a rather ''nasty'' lesson.
28* EvolvingCredits: The opening had to be changed to reflect the departure of Johan and Mindy, as well as the arrival of Adam and Rosie.
29* FunnyBackgroundEvent: While Amirah was trying Johan, Syed, and Suresh's curry puffs, Wai Chong tried a curry puff, and then started feeling unwell and started over-reacting. (Maybe the curry puff Wai Chong ate was too spicy, maybe?)
30* GratuitousEnglish: Some characters even speak English. When it happens, the subtitles change from English to Bahasa Melayu.
31%%* TheHeart: Luna.
32%%* IdiotBall: Johan, Syed, Suresh, and Faiz.
33%%* {{Jerkass}}: Atan Bin Awang.
34%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Wai Chong.
35* LoveTriangle: One eventually forms in season 3 around these people: Rosie, who likes Syed, who in turn likes Amirah.
36%%* [[NiceGuy Nice Guy/Girl]]: Faiz, Anding, Luna, Amirah, Julie, Adam, and Rosie.
37* PolarOppositeTwins: Luna and her sister, Lina in "Nice Luna, Naughty Luna". While Luna is nice, Lina is more mischievous. [[spoiler: Surprisingly, none of Luna's classmates knew that fact]]
38%%* ThePrankster: Syed, Johan.
39* TheRival: Kieran, to Johan. She wanted to be Sports Captain, and even went far by taking advantage of Johan's amnesia in episode 6 in season 1. Thankfully, her wish was finally granted come season 2, after Johan bid goodbye to the school (and Julie).
40** In episode 1 of season 3, Wai Chong, Kieran, and Anding once saw Rosie as this because she would erode Anding's status as the nĂºmero uno intellectual and push him to a far second, Wai Chong would drop from second to third place (due to Rosie being a top student in her former school), and Kieran's status as the top athlete would be threatened (as she was a champion in judo and shit put competitions). Amirah was worried as well, as she thought that Rosie was also a cheerleader and more prettier.
41*** Later, however, Kieran was relieved since Rosie said that she will put down on judo and shot pit, Amirah was relieved because Rosie was not a cheerleader, and Anding and Wai Chong changed their ways towards Rosie and decided to team up with her to snatch the National Achievement Award from the school's arch-rival, SM Bulit Gangsa.
42* SheCleansUpNicely: Kieran in "Bowling Buddies", after some mathematical coaching from Anding, she was able to attract the other classmates just by walking like a model.
43* SiblingYinYang: Johan and Julie. While the former is athletic and rather naughty, the latter is smart and compassionate.
44%%* SupremeChef: Suresh.
45%%** Subverted with Syed and Johan. Remember episode 5 of season 1? While Johan made rather bland curry puff filling, Syed made a very spicy curry puff filling. Syed decided to switch Suresh's super-delicious filling with his much-dreaded spicy filling for his curry puff to satisfy Amirah, but it backfires, as Amirah also likes the spicy filling Syed made (which she mistook as Suresh's filling).
46%%* TookALevelInJerkass: In episode 9, Faiz's teasing of Anding about how he does not know about shuffling pisses Anding so much that he challenges Faiz to a shuffling battle, in which Faiz loses to Anding.
47%%** Episode 13: Kieran, Wai Chong, Faiz, and Amirah swapped their characters, freaking out Syed and Johan. Later, [[spoiler:it turned out to be a prank that they made as payback for scaring them after they watched a solar eclipse]].
48%%** Episode 6 of season 2: Kieran established a new health regimen that forced everyone to exercise very intensively. When Kieran notices the damage [[spoiler:(which is actually fake because the others were fed up with the regimen)]], she decided to cut her loss and abolish it.
49%%** In episode 6 of season 3, when the students filled up Wai Chong's suggestion box with nasty comments (possibly in retaliation of getting booked by him rather repetitively), he gets shocked and then gets heartbroken when he sees a suggestion that says he should transfer to a military academy because of his zero tolerance, and grabs the box while running away and crying. The students then feel regretful about Wai Chong's absence, and sing a song for him, only for [[spoiler:Wai Chong to arrive at school because he was actually at a prefect convention at Singapore and won the All-Asia Best Prefect Award because of the suggestions]].
