	Schoolies Week - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Schoolies or Schoolies week (known as Leavers or Leavers week in Western Australia) refers to the Australian tradition of high-school graduates (known as "Schoolies") having week-long holidays following the end of their final exams in late November and early December.
		Schoolies from South Australia have similar traditions at Victor Harbor, while in Victoria the Surf Coast is popular, mainly consisting of Lorne and Torquay, in Western Australia Rottnest Island off Perth and the South West towns of Dunsborough and Busselton are popular destinations.
		The rough cultural equivalent of schoolies in the United States and Canada would be spring break or senior week.

		As the most recent person to be a schoolie on this forum (guessing), I can say that the gold coast is fine for visiting, if not BETTER during schoolies because of the increased security, public transport and availability of decent restraunts and shows.
		That is so true...most schoolies are nocturnal creatures...they party throughout the night and sleep during the day where normal people have it the other way.
		Most Schoolies are living on shoe-string budgets, pack in 8+ people per unit and spend most of their $$ on booze (with the occasional fast food thrown in).
