Our school is located on the northern ridge residential area of Lismore. The school grounds are well established and identified by Lismore City Council as having heritage value because of the tree plantings. Koalas are often found in the playground trees. Buses from across Lismore and the adjoining district, service the school. A number of students walk or ride bikes to school. Statement of School Purpose:
