Richmond River High Campus, situated in the township of Lismore, is a medium-sized comprehensive public high school serving a diverse community. Our student population reflects a unique blend of rural and urban families, a range of socioeconomic backgrounds, varied household compositions, and diverse lifestyles and identities. First Nations cultures make up a significant portion of our students. In recent years, enrolment numbers have stabilised following demographic changes in the local area. The school and community were profoundly affected by a devastating flood, the effects of which continue to be felt. We are dedicated to ongoing improvement in quality teaching and learning, aiming to create a learning environment where every student feels valued and supported to achieve growth and success both during their schooling and in their future pathways. Enhancing staff capabilities in data literacy and application is a key focus, as this will guide our teaching programs and targeted interventions. Our school culture prioritises strong, respectful relationships between staff, students, and the community, underpinned by high expectations, which supports wellbeing and boosts student engagement.
