My name is Ben Allan, a Year 9 at Thomas House and I live in Ikawai.
I live on a 1350 Hectare farm where we have 2000 milking cows and 2000 other cattle. I love hunting; we have lots of wallabies, rabbits, hares and a few fallow deer. We usually go night shooting and I also like fishing. We have a jet boat and we just go up the Waitaki river and normally catch brown or rainbow trout.
I enjoy skiing a lot at Cardrona by Wanaka because the skiing is really good. My favourite sports are basketball, rugby and cricket and I play all of them for Timaru Boys’ High School. I chose to come to this school because my brother also goes here and there are lots of opportunities and a lot of good sports teams.
I went to the hostel because I live around one hour away and some of my friends came here so I thought it would be a good choice.
