Student Life
Glenunga International High School hosts an array of extracurricular groups, many of which are student-run. These include the Student Forum, musical theatre and other interest clubs, a variety of community service organisations, International and Environment Clubs, as well as various sporting teams. The Amnesty International Club and the Student Activist Alliance are two student-led groups which seek to raise international and political awareness within the school as well as in the wider community. To actively encourage the creation and expansion of these groups, GIHS maintains a Student Life Coordinator on its staff. The current coordinator is Xena Habel.
Glenunga International High School is home to an active student voice organisation which underwent a number of changes in 2006-2007. These included the composition of a new constitution for the Student Forum and the introduction of the Prefect system.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
“There is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state?”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
