Good Counsel offers integrity
CHOOSING a secondary school is about much more than subjects and facilities. It is about choosing a community that will support young people as they learn, grow and prepare for their future.
At Good Counsel College, students are known, valued and encouraged to become the best version of themselves.
As a Catholic school in the Marist tradition, the college is grounded in the characteristics of presence, simplicity, family spirit, love of work and following in the way of Mary.
These characteristics are reflected in the relationships we build, the care provided to students and the high expectations held for every young person.
From 2027, senior pathways will expand further with the introduction of Certificates II and III in Rural Operations and Certificates II and III in Sports Coaching, alongside the college’s existing vocational offerings.
The rural operations pathway has been developed in response to the needs and opportunities of our region, providing practical learning in areas including livestock, water management, chemicals and machinery.
These new offerings strengthen the college’s commitment to providing pathways that are relevant to local industries while opening doors to further training and employment.
Sporting opportunities also continue to grow through the college’s partnerships with Liverpool FC International Academy Australia and the Brisbane Tigers Rugby League Academy.
These programs provide students with access to high-quality coaching and development while fostering teamwork, resilience, leadership and character.
The college is also preparing for its next chapter, with significant building works planned to support the continued development of the campus and the learning opportunities available to students.
This investment in facilities, together with an expanding range of programs and pathways, reflects a commitment to providing young people in the region with opportunities to learn, grow and prepare confidently for life beyond school.
Good Counsel College offers the balance and holistic education, strong community connections and opportunities for students to discover their strengths and pursue their own pathway.
Enrolments for year 7 in 2028 are open. Applications close Friday 23 April 2027.
