From the cache location you will be able to look out onto Auburn High School. It is an unmissable brick building on the other side of the cliff with a huge sign reading its name. This school has in fact been three different schools over the course of the years. Originally, in the 1970s, the school first opened with the name John Gardiner High School. It was at this time when the building you see now was built. The entire ground floor still remains as it was all those years ago.
Later, the school closed down and re-opened. It was then known as Hawthorn Secondary College. Hawthorn Secondary did alright for a few years. Unfortunately, in the years leading up to 2014 it experienced a heavy decrease in enrolment and suffered low Year 12 scores, putting it close to the bottom of the rankings of Victoria's schools. Due to this, the school committee made the decision to once again close down at the end of 2013. This time it re-opened in 2014 as the school you see today, Auburn High. The uniform was completely changed and, one of the biggest changes, accelerated, French binational and Mandarin bilingual programs were introduced. Since then the school has been seeing an enormous rise in enrolment and has been attracting people from all over Melbourne for its new programs.
The cache is only a short walk away from multiple cafes and parks. It is a lovely place to take a stroll.
