Student leadership

Corinda State High School encourages leadership towards students. Students have many opportunities to become a student leader which falls under the following categories: Student Executive, School Captains, Sport Captains, Social Captains, Arts Captains and Portfolio Captains. The school captains are all grade 12 students who work with the Principal and Deputy Principal's to promote the school's culture. The Student Executive is a group of year 12 students who work as a team to create a better environment for all students and also participate in all events within the school to help promote the culture of the school. Sports Captains are also grade 12 and 11 students who work together to promote the sporting culture within the school. There are also house captains from each of the sporting houses. The Arts Captains are grade 12 and 11 students who work closely with the Arts Head of Department and Arts Teachers who help promote Corinda's Arts programs and subjects which are combined of: Drama, Music, Visual Art, Practical Art, Dance and Digital Design Studies. Portfolio Captains help promote their elected portfolio within the school community. On 18 October 2017, a Facebook post by the school announcing students will no longer be permitted to enter the local Coles Supermarket before or after school gained a large amount of media attention. This prompted Channel 9 News to create a news segment on the subject, interviewing students before and after school. The news video went viral, attaining over 120,000 views as of the 22 October 2017.
