  • ""Welcome to Canterbury Boys High, Prime Minister John Howard's old school and the setting for this compelling documentary series. Filmed with unprecedented access over a school year, Our Boys follows the lives of several students and teachers at this cash-strapped government school in Sydney's inner west. Episode 1 - Filipe. This cheeky, disruptive 15 year-old Tongan boy has slipped through the net. He's made it into Year 9 without being able to read or write. Episode 2 - Frank. Frank is seventeen, a migrant from a poor African village. His older sister Rita, with whom he shares a tiny flat, has gone back to Ghana for several months to visit their ill mother, leaving Frank to look after himself. Episode 3 - Roni. Roni is a refugee from Iraq. He laughs about the experience, even as he shows the scars where, as an eight year-old, he was shot by border guards running through the dark into Turkey. After years in refugee camps Roni arrived in Australia; by the time he enrolled in Year 8 at Canterbury Boys he'd missed five years of school. "Our Boys" tells his story from the beginning of Year 11. Episode 4 - Mohamed and Thong. It's the H.S.C. - the Higher School Certificate. Episode Four of "Our Boys" follows two very different boys through their last roller coaster year. Study notes available and suitable for Middle to Upper Secondary School Students. Learning Areas include: English, Cultural Studies, Studies of Society and Environment, Psychology, Health and Personal Development."--ABC Commercial website."
