Extra-Curricular Activities in 2021

State High’s Extra-Curricular program offers over 40 activities (Sporting, Cultural and Other) that provide opportunities for students to participate, learn, develop and excel. These activities are offered at various times throughout the school year.

Activity communication

StudentNet

Students can access information about extra-curricular trial/audition times, activity dates, meetings times and locations and other important information, which is communicated via Student Notices on StudentNet. To further support your child, please check that they are accessing this information on a daily basis.

Team App

Team App is used to communicate activity-specific information to parents, guardians and students. Please sign up to the relevant activity’s Team App upon your child’s selection in the activity. Instructions on how to register for an activity’s Team App are available via the relevant activity’s page on our website.

Activity registration

To register your child for an extra-curricular activity in 2021, please complete the applicable registration form/s.

Other Activities

Completion of the Annual General Consent form is required before students are able to participate in extra-curricular activities and is available via the registration links on our website.

Completion of this process does not guarantee selection in the activity. Students are still required to complete activity-specific surveys prior to selections to express interest in trialling.

A direct link to the Annual General Consent form is below:

The Annual General Consent Form was included in the Enrolment Offer Package for Year 7, 2021, and therefore has already been completed for those students.

Volunteering

Volunteers underpin the success of extra-curricular activities at State High. Due to the number of activities occurring each week, it is impossible to have them all covered by teachers. Any assistance that parents or past students can offer in coaching or managing, scoring, costuming, ticketing, officiating or working in the canteen is greatly appreciated. If you are interested in volunteering in an activity, please contact the relevant MIC. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Sub-committees

Parents and guardians can also support an activity by becoming a member of the relevant sub-committee. Sub-committee members assist in fostering support of both the activity and the MIC amongst parents/guardians. Our sub-committees also provide invaluable financial assistance through fundraising and are overseen by the school’s P&C Association. If you are available to assist, please contact the MIC of the relevant activity.

• Cultural and other activities contacts
• Sport contacts

We currently have active sub-committees in the following activities:

• Athletics (QGSSSA and GPS)
• Cricket (GPS)
• Cross Country (QGSSSA and GPS)
• Dance Troupes
• Football (QGSSSA and GPS)

Levies

All non-curriculum activities conducted at the school have a ‘User Pays’ structure. A levy to participate in an activity is payable to cover the cost of that year’s delivery of the activity. If you have any questions relating to levies, please contact the Master in Charge (MIC) of the activity or B Block Finance Counter.

District/regional nominations

Brisbane State High School is a member of Metropolitan East region for Queensland School Sport Championships. To be eligible to compete in Queensland School Sport Championships, students need to trial for selection in the district team.

District information

Mt Gravatt District:  12-year-old students only (2009)

Composite District:  13 to 18-year-old students

Trial information will be advised to students via StudentNet. Students are then required to nominate and collect consent forms/trial information from the D Block Extra-Curricular Office (D101).

Students will not be eligible to attend trials without the correct paperwork.

Students wishing to attend District or Regional trials must be of a suitable standard. Restrictions apply in some sports to ensure the trialling process does not become unmanageable.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How do I give consent for my child to participate in extra-curricular activities?

Registration and consent forms are available via the Extra-Curricular page on the school website. When completing registration forms, please select all the activities you give consent for your child to participate in.

How do I know when an activity is on?

The Brisbane State High School website provides information relating to activity dates and times.

By joining the Team App for the activity, you will receive all the latest information relative to the activity. StudentNet is also used to distribute information directly to students.

Can students participate in more than one extra-curricular activity?

Students can participate in more than one activity provided the competition/performance days/times do not clash. GPS and QGSSSA rules stipulate that students can only participate in one sport on the day of competition.

Does everyone gain selection in an activity?

While every effort is made to maximise opportunities for participation for all students, certain activities have limited availability, usually due to circumstances beyond the school’s control. There are many extra-curricular activities on offer, so students should consider an alternative if their first choice is not available.

What uniform do students wear for extra-curricular activities?

Some activities have specific uniforms that can be purchased from our school’s Uniform Shop. Information relating to uniforms will be provided within the individual activity’s communications. Uniform requirements are also outlined on the individual activity pages on the school website.

Is there a cost to participate in extra-curricular activities?

All non-curriculum activities conducted at the school have a user-pays structure. A levy to participate in an activity is payable to cover the cost of that year’s delivery of the activity.

How do I volunteer for an activity?

Masters in Charge (MIC) of an activity will publish a request for volunteers via Team App prior to the commencement of the activity. If you would like to volunteer, please contact the relevant activity’s MIC.

Are there any parent/guardian support groups for the activities?

Some activities operate parent/guardian support groups known as sub-committees. Sub-committees assist in fostering support of both the activity and the MIC amongst parents/guardians. These sub-committees meet on a regular basis and are overseen by the school’s P&C Association. Information about each sub-committee is listed on the individual activity’s page.

When do extra-curricular activities take place?

Extra-curricular activities are conducted during a variety of hours and days/nights, including weekends. Training/rehearsal times are generally scheduled before or after classes during the school week. Some training/rehearsals may occasionally occur on weekends.
