Flood recovery updates
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 South Public School suffered extensive damage as a result of the flood events with floodwater entering the school and damaging buildings on site.
Regular communication relating to the progress of works at Lismore South Public School will continue to be updated to this page in the ‘Flood Recovery Updates’ section below.
School community information sessions are currently being planned.
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.
