Lismore Heights Public School
Lismore Heights Public School is situated above the town of Lismore overlooking the picturesque hills to the north. Our beautiful school caters for students of all abilities from Kindergarten to Year 6. Presently, the school has eleven classrooms, two of which are Support Classes for students with additional needs. Approximately 230 students are currently enrolled at the school. 20% of our students are Aboriginal. All of our students make an outstanding contribution to the life and culture of our happy school. The school and its community work hand in hand to ensure that all of our students 'Aim High' and reach their full potential. The teachers and support staff at Lismore Heights Public School share a passion for learning, and this radiates outwards into our daily teaching. As a result, our children encounter a range of stimulating and exciting learning opportunities which extend beyond the basics. Performing & Creative Arts and Sport feature heavily in our teaching and learning programmes, as does our commitment to celebrating key events in the Australian calendar such as, ANZAC day and NAIDOC Week. Students' progress is carefully monitored throughout the year to ensure that children's individual needs are catered for in our day to day planning. Consequently, teaching and learning is tailored to the specific needs of our students, resulting in above state average progress for our students in National tests. Lismore Heights Public School is a proud member of 'The Rivers P-12' community of schools which serve Lismore and its surrounding area. Our community of schools work collaboratively to provide quality learning experiences for all students living in the Lismore region.
We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
