About CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel

CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel is a girls' primary school in Singapore, in the South zone.

It offers 11 CCAs.

School overview

Our Lady of Good Counsel opened at Cooling Close in 1960 to serve Serangoon Gardens and nearby areas. It briefly offered both primary and secondary classes from 1967. In 1970 its secondary pupils transferred to St Joseph’s Convent, while that school’s primary pupils came to OLGC. It returned to its rebuilt Burghley Drive campus in 2007, with an official opening in 2008. A further wing unveiled in 2018 included a student care centre, special rooms and classrooms. Its present primary-school story should not be confused with St Joseph’s secondary provision.

The D’LitE Applied Learning Programme puts drama, writing and speaking into English and Mother Tongue learning. Primary 1 and 2 have speech and drama; Primary 1 to 5 have opportunities to attend Chinese musicals; critical investigation is listed for Primary 4 to 6 and debate for Primary 5 and 6. The school also describes yearly musical theatre or aesthetics programmes. This explains a progression in communication, without suggesting that every child takes a leading stage role or that public speaking becomes effortless for everyone.
