2021 Prospectus
Our Vision Ready to thrive in a changing world. Our Purpose To nurture and guide our students to be the best they can be. Our Motto Seek the highest good.
Welcome to Lincoln High School. Haere mai ki te Kura Tuarua o Waihora. We are a contemporary, co-educational public school located just outside of Christchurch City. It takes a community to raise a child, and at Lincoln we provide a warm, welcoming and friendly environment where each student is given the support to discover and develop values which will carry them through life.

Year 10, 2020
My first day of high school was a mix of
emotions. I was nervous, excited, and all things
in between. I soon realised that I had no reason
whatsoever to be nervous. All of the older
students were great at supporting and helping
us, and they all gave us great examples of
Lincoln High School
the Lincoln tikanga before we had even been
introduced to it.
I soon took advantage of the many opportunities
that our school has to offer. I started orchestra,
tennis, the newly created Debating Club, and
even performed in a play. The sports programme
is amazing, and you can do anything from table
2021 Prospectus
tennis to cricket to surfing.
I was fortunate to be in the enrichment
English class, as this was both challenging
and rewarding. I was amazed at how quickly
our class gained a sense of camaraderie and
friendship. After the first few weeks, we felt
like we had known each other for months.
I think this is due in no small part to the
teachers, for helping us get to know each
other through activities and group work. The
enrichment English class was lucky enough to
put on the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
In every subject the teachers are all very
enthusiastic, and want to be there teaching us.
The Chinese teachers gave their lunch times for
a month or so, to help me prepare for a Chinese
Speech Competition. Our Linc classes give us
a chance to catch up on what is going on in the
school. My Linc teacher is interested in all of
us and how we are going with school. We all
use Teams, and I think it is great, because you
can communicate so easily with teachers and
other students.
I enjoyed Year 9 at Lincoln High, and I can’t
wait to see what other opportunities this school
has to offer.
