Principal's Welcome At Lismore we pride ourselves in being an all-ability, co-educational school serving generations of families for almost 50 years. As an inclusive school we welcome and value all students and nurture their skills and talents to ensure they achieve and succeed to the best of their ability. Our Catholic ethos is evident in all policy and practice. We are highly recognised for our excellent Pastoral Care and are fully committed to the welfare of all students to ensure they reach their dreams and celebrate their successes. Many opportunities are provided outside the classrooms to allow students to develop. We recognise the importance of listening to the pupil voice and have recently developed our leadership opportunities by introducing our Junior Leadership Team to complement the work of our Senior Leadership Teams. Reflective of our ethos, we support and encourage volunteering opportunities within our community and we also offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities to cater for a wide range of interest and talents. I hope that you enjoy browsing our website, which will give you an insight into everyday life in Lismore where we continually promote our school ethos ’Caring and Learning Together’.

Cashless Catering at Lismore A cashless payment system for schools removes cash from the point of sale. Users have their transactions, account details and balances electronically recorded and stored on a networked central server. Our cashless payment system offers diners faster, more flexible access to meals. No cash handling makes for a faster service and shorter queues. The benefits of our cashless system * You do not need to carry cash - your meals have been pre-paid by you. * The money in your catering account can only be spent on food and drinks. * It is quick and easy, a faster method of paying.

Mission Statement & Aims We, at Lismore Comprehensive School, through our Catholic ethos, promote Christian values, academic and vocational excellence, and the personal development of every pupil in a caring, happy and welcoming environment. We are sympathetic and responsive to individual needs, aspirations and talents, and respect all members of our school and parish communities and the world in which we live. We aim to provide an enjoyable, motivating and relevant education which will help all pupils realise their potential, feel valued, experience success and develop skills, attitudes and knowledge necessary for all aspects of adult and working life. We aim to work in partnership with parents, guardians, the church, the community and outside agencies to provide a supportive, safe and purposeful environment which will foster the individual growth and development of caring and responsible young people.

Lismore School Prayer Lord, Help us to be a happy and caring community in Lismore. May we be kind and generous and treat everyone with respect. We pray that you will bless our learning and our study. May your spirit guide us as we grow together in faith and friendship. Amen.

The Lismore Parents Forum was established in May 2014. The Forum was set up: To develop the Parent Voice and improve meaningful parental involvement in school life. The Forum comprises a group of interested parents from across all year groups who have one thing in common – they are interested in their child’s education and want to play an active role in their school life. . The Forum promotes communication between school and home. It provides us with the opportunity to work closely with our parent body on a range of important school issues. It also facilitates consultation on school policies and practice such as Child Protection, Anti-bullying, Assessment and Homework. Meetings of the Parents Forum take place once a term in our Student Parent Learning Facility and last approximately one hour. If you wish to be part of our Parent Forum, please contact the school by email at: info@lismorecomp.craigavon.ni.sch.uk We very much look forward to working with you as part of this important and innovative Parent Forum.

eSafety is not just about technology – it is also about people and their actions. Technology provides new learning opportunities, online collaboration, anytime anywhere learning and communication, but at the same time can provide additional opportunities for students to access material they shouldn’t, or be treated by others inappropriately.

Lismore has adopted a whole-school approach to e-safety ensuring that all teaching and non-teaching staff can recognise and are aware

of eSafety issues. The senior leadership and eSafety team make this a priority across all areas of the school, and are committed to training, the development of policies, and can demonstrate a straightforward consistent approach when tackling an incident.
