Sport
The school holds sport in high regard in the curriculum and offers students substantial sporting programs, facilities and equipment. Good Counsel College is widely represented by a number of teams in various sports. Subsidies are also granted to allow teams and individuals to attend regional, state and national events should they show excellence in their respective sporting field.
The entirety of the student body is actively encouraged to participate in sports carnivals and in some cases, actually required to partake in the Cross Country unless extenuating circumstances exist.
In recent years, Good Counsel College has established itself as a formidable presence in the Interschool Athletics Carnival against the neighboring state schools. 2004 saw Good Counsel win the event for the first time in history, a feat that was again repeated in 2005. 2006 however saw the title return to Innisfail State High School.
