personally conduct a student counselling session.

Lincoln University is one of New
Zealand's oldest tertiary educational institutions.
Established in 1878, Lincoln
enjoys a reputation and excellence in teaching and research in tertiary
education, including commerce and management, primary production and natural
resources, science and engineering, and social science.
One aspect from Lincoln's
origins as an agricultural college remains true for the new millennium: Lincoln
graduates are 'doers', prepared to roll up their
sleeves with a practical approach to work.
Sarawak collaborates with New
Zealand to develop its eco-tourism projects, particularly the management of
National Parks.
Lincoln University has been
providing training programmes for the Forestry Department personnel in Sarawak.
To date, 38 Lincoln graduates
are at work in the various National Parks and another 30 are still involved in
various stages of the programme.
The graduates' enhanced
knowledge and skills make them valuable assets in the growing field of
eco-tourism.
Lincoln University is located in
the city of Christchurch.
Christchurch city is
multicultural with strong networks supporting student study, cultural, health
and recreation needs.
The city offers the opportunity
to try many types of recreation and leisure activities.
Known as the
'Garden City', Christchurch also has some of the most picturesque parks,
reserves and outdoor areas found in New Zealand. It provides a safe and
conducive environment to study.
Students and parents are
welcomed to come and meet the official from Lincoln
University, at NZ Centre tomorrow.
This will be a great opportunity
to talk faceto-face on a one-to-one basis and hear them talk about the exciting
opportunities available in the university.
Students are encouraged to bring
their certificates / results for assessment.

time, Viviene Kingsbury of the University of Waikato will also be present at the
NZ Centre to conduct student counselling session.
