The Lincoln High School Sustainability Council have devised over 10 craft activities and simple science experiments for our annual KidsFest Event. This craft morning is truly a community experience with the older students getting as much out of it through their organising and mentoring as the younger ones doing the activities and the learning.

We're excited to host a soil expert from Lincoln University, who will guide a hands-on activity. You'll gain the skills to understand and improve soil using simple tools that allow everyone to assess its health.

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?

The Doctors

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.
