Welcome

Welcome to our school site.  Our Lady of Good Counsel is a school in the Catholic tradition and therefore seeks to promote and develop the Christian faith and practice of its students, families and staff.   We aim to develop the 'whole' person by providing a variety of rich learning experiences for our children that encourage them to grow into socially adept, caring and spiritual people.

School Board

OLGC has an effectively functioning School Board that meets once a month, generally on the 4th Tuesday.   Members are elected on a two year term and may remain on the Board for as long as 6 years, at which time they are required to retire.  School Boards in Catholic schools within WA are responsible for overseeing the finances of the school.  It is the Board’s main purpose for being.  The Board members are also able to provide the principal with advice, when and where required, drawn from the expertise in their profession

Parents and Friends

The Parents and Friends Association welcomes all new and existing families to our school community.

The Executive Committee Members for this year are:

History

Our Lady of Good Counsel Primary School
The school name evolved through discussion, then prayer and reflection, between the parish priest and the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth.  This praying to Our Lady led to the selection of the name ‘Our Lady of Good Counsel’ for both parish and school as they sought advice, direction and guidance.

Mission & Values

Our Vision Statement

Our Lady of Good Counsel educates and inspires our children within a Catholic family environment.

 

Our School Motto

Through the love, compassion and understanding we show to one another in our school, we reflect Christ’s love and help to bring about the coming of God’s Kingdom of Love on earth.
