SRC
The Student Representative Council (the SRC) are a democratically, peer elected group of students who liaise with teachers and the principal. Students can express their concerns about the school or make suggestions which might be beneficial to the school. The SRC also organises mufti days and school dances with Normanhurst Boys' High School. The Battle of the Bands is also an annual SRC achievement (in conjunction with Normanhurst Boys').
The SRC organise "Spirit Week" during Week 10 of Term 2. This special week is full of fun activities such as 'The HGHS Fugitive' and inviting teachers to run the multi-stage fitness test affectionately called 'the beep test' by the girls. Another popular event in Spirit Week must include "The Great Debate" combined with Normanhurst Boys'High School. This consists of four representatives from both schools who compete in a variety of games and challenges leading up to a humorous debate to determine a winner. This event is showcased to grades Yr 9-12. The main purpose of Spirit week is to give the students relief from the probable stress stemmed from half-yearly exams, and most of all, to promote and increase school spirit and a sense of belonging within the school community.
