=Hi! Welcome to the Boys, Books, Blokes and Bytes program at BHS. =

The aim of this program is to encourage an appreciation of reading in our middle years boys and an appreciation of what libraries have to offer. The program has been developed from the project between the Centre for Youth Literature (State Library) and the DEECD. It is based on a partnership between boys, their families (especially blokes), the school and the public library.

A popular aspect of the program is the provision of free **BOOKS ** to the participating boys.

The **BYTES ** element in our program will come from blogging. We have developed a new blog just for this purpose: [|BOYS ON BOOKS]. Boys will also have the opportunity to be involved in the [|BBBB blog] created by the Centre for Youth Literature.


 * BLOKES ** will be involved in the program in a variety of ways. Some of the blokes will, we hope, be family members who will join us in activities at the public library and/or our own school library. Some of the blokes will be invited to speak on panels at the Launch and during some of the weekly BBBB sessions held at our school. These blokes may include members of our school community (the blokes on staff, some of the blokes involved in our student leadership program) and some may come from the wider community.
