Lincoln Primary School, like many others in Canterbury, underwent unprecedented growth from 2011 onward - doubling student population in approximately 6 years. Unfortunately, for the first 4-5 years, new classroom build projects did not keep up with the growth (due to various setbacks beyond the school's control).

​

Richard Wise was co-opted onto the BOT to assume the property portfolio, and as part of the LPS team oversaw new classroom construction from around 2016 onward. 

​

The first of these was the "Modular Block" - the first to be constructed in Christchurch.

​

Landscaping funded by BOT reserves was designed and project managed by Richard Wise (Pro Bono)  after LPS were let down somewhat by a private design/build company.

​

The inclusion of features such as a dodge-ball pit, performance stage, amphitheatre, large chess board, etc. make this landscaping an interesting, attractive and versatile asset to the school.
