Selwyn Sounds was back for 2026.

Recently, Lincoln township hosted the annual Selwyn Sounds music festival, where over 8000 people attended.  For the nine years the festival has been running, Lincoln High School has supported the event by offering caravan and car parking due to our close proximity (with the exception of a cancelled event in 2020 due to covid). In 2026 we were able to host 250 caravans, most of which chose to stay for 2 nights. We also hosted almost 500 cars. This car parking is one of the school’s biggest fundraising opportunities.  Students and their whānau sign up for 2-hour shifts to help set up, guide caravans and cars to parks, monitor cars and caravans with the proceeds to go directly to supporting them in extra-curricular activities.  In 2026, students have been supported with costs associated with overseas travel to Nepal, Poland/Germany/Italy, and China. Some students have raised funds for sports events (Ki-o-Rahi, Hockey, Clay Target Shooting, Rugby, and Touch), while other students have raised money for the National Tournaments of Mind trip. We are so appreciative of the number of people who choose to support our school in this way.  We acknowledge that heading away to trips can be expensive and value this opportunity to support our students financially.
