It is my pleasure to welcome you to Our Lady of Good Counsel School (OLGC). I trust that your time in our community will be an enriching experience for you and your children. At Our Lady of Good Counsel School (OLGC) we strive to educate the whole child. We endeavour to cater for the wide range of needs of all children - religious, social, academic, physical, and emotional; and in doing so hope to provide a secure learning environment where children have the opportunity to achieve their full potential. At Our Lady of Good Counsel School (OLGC) we promote the values of

Respect - Gratitude - Courage - Empathy - Love  and a genuine concern for the welfare of others.

At Our Lady of Good Counsel School (OLGC) we celebrate the unity between the parish and school and encourage you to become active participants in both. Your participation in each can bring an added richness to the life of your family and for many families has added to their sense of belonging within a strong faith community. We invite your involvement directly with us as partners within your child's education and faith journey. Participation can be found in the educational, recreational and social activities of the school and communicates to your children the value in which you place on their development.

Today’s young people are growing up in a world of constant change. A world where various platforms of technology are the ‘norm’ and an integral part of their learning. Technology at Our Lady of Good Counsel School (OLGC) is seen as a tool to assist in the learning process, to broaden the mind and extend the thinking of all.

We encourage you to join us as a faith community, working together to create a climate of respect, unity and excellence providing an environment in which your children will achieve their full potential.

It is my vision as principal of Our Lady of Good Counsel School (OLGC) to afford your children the best 'evidence based teaching strategies and explicit instructions'. It is the goal of the staff to educate your children so that they will be ‘risk takers’ thus enabling them to recognize and respond to opportunities and challenges in their lives.
