PRIORITY ORDER OF PLACEMENT
Our school will prioritise enrolments from students who live within the school zone. Where Auburn High School cannot accept all applications of students residing outside the school zone due to existing or future capacity concerns, out of zone students applying for enrolment will be enrolled in the following order:
- Students with a sibling at the same permanent address who are attending the school at the same time.
- Students seeking enrolment into the French Binational Program or French Partial Immersion Program on curriculum grounds.
- All other students in order of closeness of their home to the school.
