STUDENT CLUB

At International House we run numerous organised cultural and social events for students to mingle with other students, take a break from studies and generally let their hair down.

Most of these events are organised by our International House Student Club Inc. (IHSC), a team of elected student volunteers who represent students’ interests to deliver highly engaging in house and inter college events. The IH Student Club provides social connection, fun outings and events, coordination of team sports and a sense of belonging for all. Activities include cultural events, choir, plays, dancefest, bandfest, art show, debating, public speaking, charity events, chess, and College Idol.

Many of these events allow all ten colleges at UQ to take part and socialise with one another, including parties and large gala balls.

Additionally at the University of Queensland there are over 220+ affiliated clubs and societies covering a host of specialist interests for our students to get together with like-minded people, learn a new activity or go away on an organised weekend trip.
