Parkes Phoenix

Our Young Bloke – Henry Kross

February 19, 2021 By Maggi Barnard

How old are you? I turned 11 this week.

Where do you go to school? I am in Year 6 at Parkes East and I am in Miss Toppin’s Class.

What is your favourite after school activity? Sport! Squash and cricket are my two favourites.

What is your favourite food, movie and music? My favourite food is spring rolls. My favourite movie is Avengers: End Game and my music is playing my drums.

What do you want to do when you grow up? Be a Professional Squash Association (PSA) player and play on the glass court in front of the pyramids in Egypt.

If you could have a super power what would it be? The ability to never hit the tin or cut line when I play squash OR be able to hit a squash nick on demand!

What makes you laugh the most? My friends and my little brother Artie is really funny!

If you were the ruler of your own country, what would be the first law you would introduce? The only subject you do at school is sport and craft.

Tell us an interesting fact about yourself. I do a weekly interview for our squash club called People of Parkes Squash. I am also really proud to be the President of the Parkes East Student Representative Council.
