2. All students enrolling at Adelaide High School must enrol at the school in accordance with the school's enrolment policy. The policy was published in the government Gazette on 19 March 2009. The dependents of international higher degree by research students will be treated in the same manner as local students and will need to enrol at Adelaide High School in accordance with the school's enrolment policy. Adelaide High School has the capacity to accept all students who enrol at the school in accordance with the policy.
