<strong>Vision</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Philosophy</strong><br />
Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish Primary School serves the parish of Deepdene <strong>and</strong> Balwyn. Its core<br />
mission is to develop the potential of each person <strong>and</strong> foster Gospel values through the nurturing of<br />
mind, body <strong>and</strong> soul.<br />
At the heart of our school are our students who are exploring <strong>and</strong> discovering their place in the world<br />
<strong>and</strong> the meaning of their lives. In our school this discovery is undertaken within the specific<br />
perspective of the <strong>Catholic</strong> faith. Students are invited to bring their worlds into dialogue with the<br />
<strong>Catholic</strong> faith <strong>and</strong> to grow in underst<strong>and</strong>ing of both life <strong>and</strong> faith.<br />
As a learning community this school connects learning <strong>and</strong> living, with a contemporary approach to<br />
<strong>Catholic</strong> education. With students central to everything we do, this school provides relevant, <strong>and</strong><br />
authentic experiences that support personalised learning. In this way <strong>OLGC</strong> is responsive to the<br />
individual learning needs <strong>and</strong> overall wellbeing of students <strong>and</strong> provides developmentally appropriate<br />
programs <strong>and</strong> activities that enable students to achieve high quality learning outcomes.<br />
By working in diverse <strong>and</strong> flexible spaces, this school ensures safe, nurturing, <strong>and</strong> stimulating<br />
environments where students are challenged in their learning. Students are supported by explicit <strong>and</strong><br />
scaffolded teaching to engage fully in their learning <strong>and</strong> to foster collaboration <strong>and</strong> creativity.<br />
Learning thrives through access to contemporary resources, utilising current research <strong>and</strong> proven<br />
practice.<br />
Leaders <strong>and</strong> the school community work in partnership with the parish around the five pillars of<br />
Learning, Worship, Outreach, Stewardship <strong>and</strong> Participation, to develop a strong <strong>Catholic</strong> culture.<br />
Relationships are built in the local <strong>and</strong> global community, <strong>and</strong> learning is enhanced where students<br />
inquire about the world in which they live.<br />
<strong>OLGC</strong> values the uniqueness of each individual. All members of this school <strong>and</strong> parish are called to<br />
contribute to this vibrant school community. Together we will develop confident, resilient <strong>and</strong> hopeful<br />
students with a life-long love for learning. For all associated with this school we invite you to walk<br />
alongside us <strong>and</strong> be guided by Our Lady of Good Counsel.
