School play to raise funds By Georgia O’Connor-Harding A SCHOOL hall will be transformed into a fairytale wonderland to help fundraise for children in need. With a goal of raising $1000 for charity KidsCan, Lincoln High School will present a varied show featuring three short tales at its school hall. A Cinderella-inspired tale, a story about an “amazing cake shop”, and a surprise story will be performed by the students. Head of learning, arts and drama Sandra McLean said the show aims to engage pre-schoolers getting them to participate throughout the show. “Generally we do three little shows – one based on a book, one based on a fairytale and something popular to kids,” she said. Mrs McLean said the school is open to all pre-schoolers, new entrants as well as those “young at heart.” KidsCan aims to provide food, clothing and basic healthcare in schools to enable disadvantaged children to be more engaged in their education. The school produced another show early in the year, it raised more than $400.

At university, Libby is studying agribusiness, food-marketing and professional accounting. In her first year she achieved an A average. When Libby finishes her degree she hopes to pursue a career allowing her to work in accounting and agribusiness industries and has been awarded an internship at financial consultant KPMG. As well as receiving a framed certificate and a pin badge, members of the Rotary club will join Libby to plant a young totara tree in recognition of her award. The totara is one of New Zealand’s largest native trees, and its timber was prized by Maori as the best for building their massive war canoes.
