The school had a tradition of beginning each day with a spiritual value class, called Moral Science for non-Christians, and Religion for Christians.The school is atop a hill, and shielded from the road by a massive black stone wall. The wall had two gates, one towards the East end and another to the West end. The west gate was used as the main entrance, with the east gate remaining closed most of the time. The rear boundary of the school is adjacent to a hillock which has a canon base and lookout. The base was built by the British.

Our Lady of Good Counsel High School's first headmaster was Mr.William Dias, whose younger brother, Father Sylvester Dias, served as Principal. The duo served the school for nearly three decades. Students participate in the Boy Scout/Girl Guide and Red Cross movements. The school has an Interact movement (under the Rotaract club) to spread social and community consciousness. The students of the school are divided among four houses - Bhabha (yellow), Naidu (red), Raman (green) and Tagor (blue), after Indian scientists and writers.
