Welcome to Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Primary School Forestville. 
We are an innovative and inclusive Catholic primary school, inspiring children to love learning and discover their talents so they can be the best they can be.
We believe that wellbeing and a strong sense of connection, engagement, and optimism enable children to develop a positive attitude toward learning.
We welcome children of all abilities, backgrounds, cultures, and faiths. Our dedicated staff are skilled and committed to nurturing the social, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth of every student. We are dedicated to our vision of providing authentic, professional Catholic education, delivered with care and compassion. Our school offers an integrated wellbeing program, as well as excellent sporting and creative opportunities.
We are proud to announce that, of the 38 Broken Bay Diocesan primary schools, our Year 3 and Year 5 students achieved exceptional 2024 NAPLAN overall proficiency results:
- 2nd in Spelling
- 2nd in Numeracy
- 4th in Reading
Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Primary School is situated in beautiful, tree-studded surroundings, featuring play equipment, an oval with ample playing space, and outdoor education facilities. We are a co-educational school meeting the needs of children from Kindergarten to Year Six. Our motto, “Let your Light Shine”, underpins and guides all aspects of school life.
Staff, parents, and the wider community work together to encourage children to develop initiative and become self-motivated learners who can work cooperatively, play enthusiastically, and behave with respect and consideration for others.
Parents are true partners in learning at OLGC. We warmly encourage you to be actively involved in both the school and Parish community. I look forward to welcoming you to OLGC and invite you to book a school tour at a mutually convenient time by contacting us on 02 7256 2126 or olgc@dbb.catholic.edu.au
