50th Jubilee Celebrations
Catholic Education commenced in Innisfail in 1903 with the arrival of the Sisters of the Good Samaritan and further grew when the Marist Brothers started Mother of Good Counsel School for boys in 1938. In 1975, Good Counsel College was formed from a merger of the girls’ school (Sacred Heart), conducted by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, and the boys’ school, conducted by the Marist Brothers.
In 2025 we will celebrate a half-century of excellence at Good Counsel College.
We will be sharing more information shortly about how you can join us in marking this significant milestone.
