Lismore High Campus, part of The Rivers Secondary College, is a government-funded co-educational comprehensive secondary day school campus, located on Dalley Street, East Lismore, in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia. Established in 1920 as Lismore High School, the campus enrolled approximately 400 students in 2018, from Year 7 to Year 12, of whom 17 percent identified as Indigenous Australians and six percent were from a language background other than English. The school is operated by the NSW Department of Education; the principal is Chris Williams. The Rivers Secondary College comprises the Richmond River High Campus, the Kadina High Campus, and the Lismore High Campus. History and description First location Previously known as Lismore High School (LHS), the school's first site was on Lake Street, North Lismore (the present Richmond River High Campus site). On 23 November 1918, the foundation stone was laid for the new high school building by the Member for Lismore, George Nesbitt. At the time of its establishment in January 1920, it was one of only five high schools outside the Sydney metropolitan area. The school served the Richmond River area and until 1929 with the opening of Murwillumbah High School, was the only high school between and the Queensland border. The Chinese-Australian journalist Vivian Chow Yung attended LHS in its beginning years. Told in 1923 by an Irish-Australian schoolteacher at LHS, "You are Australian now. Why worry so much about China? What does China mean to you?", Chow responded "Sir, you were born in Australia, but you are always telling us about Home Rule for Ireland. What does Ireland mean to you?" Second location The second site of LHS was on Magellan Street in the city precinct. By 1957 LHS was one of the largest secondary schools in the state, with an enrolment of 1,438 students and a staff of 67 teachers. This represented the zenith of its enrolments as the establishment of other high schools took effect: Kyogle (1955), Mullumbimby (1955), Ballina (1956) and Richmond River (1958). The writer Bob Ellis attended LHS at this time. In a speech in May 1998, Ellis acknowledged the "selfless teachers I am proud to have known" and that "Lismore High gave us not only the intellectual armaments that made it possible for us to prevail in the great world beyond Lismore, but it also gave us a sense of that possibility".
