Auburn High School

Overview

Auburn High School is a government secondary school at 26 Burgess Street, Hawthorn East, serving students from Year 7 through to Year 12 in a well-established campus in the residential heart of the suburb. Burgess Street is a quiet residential street off Auburn Road, and the school draws from an increasingly diverse local catchment including Hawthorn East, Hawthorn, Camberwell, and surrounding suburbs. Auburn Road Village — one of Melbourne's most beloved café and specialty retail strips — is a short walk from the school, providing a popular gathering place for students after school and parents during morning routines. The school has a strong academic culture and has grown significantly in reputation and enrolment numbers over recent years. Swinburne University's Hawthorn campus is nearby on John Street, contributing to the educational character of the broader area. Trams on Burke Road and Auburn Road provide transport options to the CBD and Camberwell Junction. Gardiners Creek Reserve is accessible to the south. The surrounding streets of Hawthorn East feature a mix of Victorian, Edwardian, and interwar homes alongside increasing apartment development, reflecting ongoing inner-city residential demand. A school that has earned a strong community following through its academic and co-curricular growth in recent years.
