Train the Liverpool Way – Right Here in Innisfail

We are proud to announce a unique and world-class partnership with Liverpool FC International Academy Australia, launching at Good Counsel College in 2026.

This collaboration marks a first-of-its-kind international football academy in Far North Queensland and brings one of the world’s most iconic football clubs into our school community.

A High-Performance Football Program

Beginning in 2026, the Good Counsel College Football Academy, delivered in partnership with Liverpool FC, will offer:

  • Authentic, elite-level coaching based on The Liverpool Way

  • Development across five key areas: technical, tactical, physical, mental, and social

  • Access to values-driven programs that promote leadership, teamwork, resilience, and character

  • Pathway opportunities into sport, health and fitness, supported by the Australian College of Physical Education

"To be guided by one of the best football clubs in the world is an extraordinary opportunity—not just for our students, but for our whole school community." – Paul Melloy, Principal

More Than a Game

The program is open to all interested students and aims to create a high-performance environment aligned with Liverpool FC’s global vision:
“To be the world leader in developing young people through football.”

Students, teachers, and coaches will all benefit from this exciting initiative through:

  • Coach development and mentoring

  • Community clinics and events

  • A shared commitment to dignity, unity, ambition, and commitment — values shared by Liverpool FC and Good Counsel College alike
