While the other students measured their endurance on the monkey-bars during the early years of their schooling, Jackson was figuring out his next money-making venture.
"In year one or two, he was selling pictures he'd drawn to other kids at school for 20 cents each. Then he realised he could get more if he made a book of pictures, so he started doing that," said his mother, Dannii Pullen.
"I had to tell the other parents, 'if you're sending your kids to school with money, they may not be using it at the canteen, it may be going to Jackson'. He's always scheming, now he's found a way to make it legitimate."
Now that he is 12, The Riverina Anglican College student has struck gold, founding his 'JP Vinyl Stickers' business from his parent's garage in Cartwrights Hill.

Along with his step-brother Jake Pullen, for the past two years, Jackson has been painstakingly crafting vinyl decal for businesses and racing teams all over the world.
As of last year, he secured a deal to supply 180 franchisees of Snap-on tools with custom vinyl.
"In December, we sold 550 stickers and at another point last year, we did about $1000 worth of them," Jackson said.
"We had an order once that took three months to finish."
It can be a monotonous task, with each roll of 80 stickers taking up to 45 minutes to make, depending on their size.
"They do make a good team, Jake's happy to do the repetitive stuff and Jackson's got all the business ideas," Ms Pullen said.
Working for hours at a time after school, Jackson admits to his mother's dismay he often "doesn't really have time to do homework".
Having paid his parents back for the initial purchase of the sticker press, Jackson is looking to update his operation with a $12,000 colour printer.
But that is just the first step in the creation of his business empire, as the young businessman plans to soon begin selling digital art.
When his business will take off - whether he will have finished school by then - is anyone's guess and his mother's greatest worry.
"I have no doubt he'll keep working at it until it evolves into something big," said his mother.
