OLGC Easter Egg Hunt and Family Fun Day

Our Lady of Good Counsel Primary School is excited to be able to host the 2021 Easter Egg Hunt and Family Fun Day on Sunday, 21 March.  This is a great way to get the whole community together, spend time out with family and friends and fundraise for the school.

Our Lady of Good Counsel Primary School has always prided itself on being a school that welcomes everyone, and this event is a fantastic opportunity to share our school with friends, family, and neighbours of the Parish and School.

All fundraising will go towards building sustainability initiatives at Our Lady of Good Counsel Primary School.
