Flashman at New Plymouth Boys' High
by DESCENDANT OF SMITH, for Daisycutter Sports Inc.
As someone who went to New Plymouth Boys' High School in the 70′s it
seems to be that bullying has significantly decreased in schools.
What was acceptable then would in no way be condoned now.
Let me list the ways that I and others were bullied at school:
1. Being physically beaten up before breakfast by the fullback of the
first fifteen many mornings before breakfast.
2. Hauled out of bed and made to have cold showers in the middle of
the night.
3. Having to wash the football gear, by hand, of the boarders in the
first XV – we got good at using toothpaste on the white stripes.
4. Being made to stand in the middle of the field and used as tackle
bags.
5. Being made to fight other students for the pleasure of the
prefects.
6. Being caned by the prefects.
7. Being made to smoke by the prefects (I never did hence incurred
more beatings).
8. Being made to run errands for the prefects such as constantly going
to the dairy down the hill to buy one cent's worth of jelly beans – if
you were not quick enough you got a clout.
9. Being sent to the teacher at prep time to be caned for no reason –
and the teachers indulging and complicit in this.
10. Being made to write such engaging essays as the sex life of a ping-
pong ball.
11. Having to site in a seated position without a chair and an upright
compass (mathematical with a point) below your backside – trust me
landing on this hurts.
12. Being beaten up again for no reason.
13. Having to hold hand upright with fingers and thumb touching while
a ruler edge was forcibly applied to your fingertips.
14. Being Dubbined and Nuggeted and Deep Heated on your private parts.
15. Being hung from a tree and spray painted orange.
16. Having eyebrows shaved off.
17. Having to float on the swimming pool so you could be dive-bombed
by the prefects.
18. Dorm raids in the middle of the night which were just another
excuse to beat up on the weakest.
19. Having to learn the names of the first XV, the All Blacks and the
Taranaki football team – in that order – and again being hit if you
got it wrong.
These are the ones that immediately spring to mind.
It’s not character building and in my experience it’s often those that
were bullied who have problems later in life – particularly with
violence. The bullies seem to be able to move on much more easily.
One woman I know has two sons in jail for murder who went to another
boarding school. It’s only now in prison they talk about what happened
to them when they were there. They went from being two quiet lovely
kids at 13 to having significant issues in life when they were older.
There were some good aspects to going to NPBHS, and some very good
teachers, history and biology in particular, but the bullying and the
violence that I and others experienced will forever tarnish our view
of that school.
The thing I notice in this country is that people are quick to jump on
the bandwagon when it’s a Maori school involved but there seems to be
much more of a cover up when the school is supposed to have a
“reputation”.

lonely loser. Making pathetic little squeaks of protest from the safe

the fullback (and no doubt other players) of the famous New Plymouth
BHS first fifteen, and there is mention made of the Taranaki and All
Black teams to boot.
It doesn't GET any more hardcore rugby than that, surely?

About 20 years ago a teacher who was responsible for one of the boarding houses
was "moved on" as the saying goes after he was found fellating a boarder while
being sodomised by another boarder (the teacher that is.)
