About schoolies
Seven days hardly seems long enough for school-leavers, with thousands of year 12 students heading to destinations across Victoria and Australia to celebrate the end of school between mid-November & mid-December each year.
This site has been designed to help school-leavers & parents make their well-earned celebrations as safe and hassle-free as possible.
There are a few places in Victoria with some organised Schoolies efforts, including Surf Coast Shire (Lorne and Torquay), Bass Coast Shire (Phillip Island) and Mornington Peninsula Shire (Sorrento & Portsea). Queensland, South Australia (particularly Victor Harbour) and Western Australia also have their own organised Schoolies efforts.
You can find out more about schoolies, including info for parents, stories from ex-schoolies and tips from youth and health workers on the following pages:
