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:
“They tend to be suspicious, bristly, paranoid-type people with huge egos they push around like some elephantiasis victim with his distended testicles in a wheelbarrow terrified no doubt that some skulking ingrate of a clone student will sneak into his very brain and steal his genius work.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“You realize the futility of worry. You learn to hate the small and the little. Life is a pie which you cut in large slices, not grudgingly, not sparingly. You know your limitations and proceed to eliminate them; your abilities, and proceed to develop them. You are free.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
