Good Counsel College, Innisfail

Good Counsel College is a Catholic co-educational secondary school located in Innisfail, Queensland, Australia. It is a parish school maintained by the parish of Innisfail and South Johnstone / Mourilyan that also serves Innisfail's outlying regional areas, generally extending north to Babinda, south to Tully and Mission Beach and inland to Millaa Millaa.HistoryGood Counsel College was established in 1976 as a result of the fusion of two separate single sex education institutes: The Sacred Heart Girls School conducted by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan and the Marist Brothers' Boys' School. Initially the school was organized catering only to students in years 8,9 and 10. However under guidance from the school's first lay principal Mr. Peter Albion the school was quickly established as an academic institute offering a full secondary education.In recent years the school has undergone significant expansion both in terms of enrolments and infrastructure, having trebled the number of enrolments since its inception in 1975.
