Our School

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.

OLGC has an effectively functioning School Board that meets once a month, generally on the 4^th 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

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

The Executive Committee Members for this year are:

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.

Our Vision Statement

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

Our School Motto

“Thy Kingdom Come”

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.

Our Lady of Good Counsel is a single stream Catholic primary school catering for the individual learning needs of boys and girls from the surrounding suburbs.  The school has been in operation since 1963.  We now have over 235 children from Kindy to Year 6 and run a Three Year Old Play Session for siblings and other children in the area.

Our Lady of Good Counsel School offers a broad-based curriculum with emphasis given to the care and development of the child as an individual and as a contributing member of the community.  We recognise the vital importance of faith in the lives of the students and we are concerned with the awakening, nourishing and developing of this faith within a sound general education.  Our educational programme is currently encompassing the government’s mandated Australian Curriculum.

The information below is provided to interested persons to display our students' performance in an Australian wide series of tests titled NAPLAN - National Literacy and Numeracy.  These tests are mandated by the government and are conducted annually for every Year 3, 5, 7 and 9 student across the nation.
