Expectation vs Reality
There are a few misconceptions when it comes to what really goes on at Schoolies. Yes, it is a celebration, but it’s not just a wild, 24/7 party.
Depending on what destination they choose to head to, Schoolies days are filled up sunbathing and swimming on the beach, relaxing by hotel pools, shopping and exploring the towns they head to, hitting up the cafes and restaurants and exploring tourist attractions to name just a few. There is so much more to Schoolies week than we are sometimes led to believe!
