Jackson Prowse (2020)
After graduating from BMGS, Jackson Prowse (2020) has undertaken a
GAP year to live in and work at Hereworth School (Hawke’s Bay, North
Island, New Zealand). He writes:
“I’ve been quite fortunate to travel to New Zealand when I did (pre-
Lockdown), and I’ve had a fantastic time so far. It’s a little peculiar to be a
neighbour to, and work for, my former Headmaster, Mr Trevor Barman,
but also really lovely to spend some time with him and Jenny, who are
both enjoying their time at Hereworth School. It’s certainly enlightening
to be on the other side of the school system, and to appreciate the hard
work that teachers put into every lesson. Hereworth is a boys’ boarding
school for Years 1 to 8, which is the equivalent to K-7 in Australia. I’ve
made some nice relationships with some of the kids, and I’ve often found
myself playing a bit more of a ‘big brother’ role than a teacher.
The other component of my time in New Zealand is the travel and, in
the mid-year break I, together with a group of sixteen other Australian
‘gappies,’ embarked on a road trip of the South Island, which culminated
in a week of snowboarding in Queenstown. Everything about Te
Waipounamu (the Maori name) is absolutely breathtaking, from the often-
rainy West Coast, where we were treated with six days of fine weather
and panoramic views of the alps and the ocean, to the steep slopes of
the alps themselves with clear, icy lakes nestled quietly in the valleys, and
gorgeous sunsets over the rocky Kaikoura Coast, where the snowy hills
roll into the Pacific. Overall, it’s been a terrific experience so far. I hope
everyone back home is staying safe; all the best from Havelock North.
