Lismore Public School
The school achieves its mission by providing its students with quality educational programs delivered by highly qualified teachers. The school of approximately 350 students caters for a wide range of learning abilities. The school is made up of twelve mainstream classes, a hearing class, a language class, two classes for students with moderate disabilities plus an early intervention class. The school's population is diverse with both Aboriginal and Sudanese students also attending. A welcoming and friendly school, we work in close partnership with our community who value the varied opportunities the school provides for their children including the choir, the band and sporting experiences. The school's playground is large with grassy lawns and numerous trees providing a pleasant environment. Our school has a modern computer laboratory which is accessed by all students. All classes have interactive whiteboards installed and these are used as the major mode of curriculum delivery. This ensures that students are exposed to the latest technologies in order to enhance their learning. The staff is responsive to the emerging needs of the students and provides them with a range of educational programs which are challenging. This ensures that the students are positively engaged in the numerous learning experiences provided. The school's Positive Behaviour for Learning program ensures high standards of behaviour are maintained through a consistent approach by all staff. For your child this means a happy and safe environment for all.
Flood recovery update
The NSW Department of Education is coordinating an emergency response effort that is unprecedented in terms of scale and impact. A large number of schools in the Northern Rivers region have damage to either the entire site or some buildings and facilities.
The local School Infrastructure NSW office has inspected all schools in flood-impacted areas and has removed rubbish, cleaned and secured affected sites to ensure they are safe. Teams are repairing and remediating schools that were damaged during the foods and assessing works needed to rebuild the worst affected schools.
Lismore Public School suffered a significant amount of damage as a result of the flood events with a large number of buildings being inundated with flood waters.
Regular communication relating to the progress of works at Lismore Public School will continue to be updated to this page in the ‘Flood Recovery Updates’ section below.
