Parkes Phoenix

Our Bloke – Jacob Cowie

July 8, 2022 By Maggi Barnard

Jacob Cowie – Vice-captain Parkes Christian School

How old are you? 11 

Were You Named After Anyone? My middle name was named after my uncle. 

What three things would you like to pack in your lunch box every day? For Fruit break, mango. For recess a packet of chips and for lunch a sandwich. 

If you could choose any job in the world, what would you do? I would love to be a zoo keeper because I love animals and reptiles. 

If you could invent something, what would it be? Probably a hoverboard or an invisibility suit. 

If you had to spend $10,000 today, how would you spend it? I would donate some to poor people, give some to my family and keep some for myself. 

What is the scariest thing you’ve ever done? Going on a 20m high giant swing. 

If you could meet any historical person, who would that be? Definitely Jesus. 

What makes you feel like dancing? Music! 

If you had three wishes, what would you wish for? To stop animal cruelty across the world; for everyone to give their heart to the Lord and I would love to get an Armadillo girdled lizard as a pet lizard.
