The series followed the staff and students at a dysfunctional fictional high school called Carpen Heights Secondary College, and focussed on the life of the teachers in and out of the staff room.

Michael Reed, a writer for the show has claimed that "Summer Heights High", a more successful show with similar themes that debuted in 2007, had borrowed certain concepts from "Sit Down, Shut Up".
