He attended Hutt Valley High School where he was in the seventh form, equal to a first year university student in the States. His courses included English history, math and English. According to his moth er, schools are much harder in New Zealand and students must be in the upper half of their class to pass. No matter what the size of the class, 50 per cent of the students pass and 50 per cent fail. Their schools are also campus-style and when students don't have a class they don't have to be in school. Last February, Brian took a trip to the south island. During his semester break, he lived for three weeks on a sheep ranch in Ohingaiti, New Zealand. The ranch included 3,500 acres and 4,500 ewes.
