About our school

Larnook Public School sits proudly on Bundjalung land, home of the Widjabul Wia-Bal people. It is a small rural school 20 minutes from Lismore and Kyogle. Larnook offers an expanse of picturesque grounds that allows students to have a variety of areas to learn in, and includes two ovals and a lower playground with play equipment. Upon entry to the school, towering pines and native trees create a beautiful space affectionately called 'The Fairy Garden'.

The school has a long history. Established in 1922, it has been the heart of the community for many years. The school and community have planted a large variety of edible fruits and plants for students to enjoy and to promote healthy eating. We encourage a healthy and physical lifestyle through sports and are active in the Terania district competitions.
