Quick answers

When is Schoolies?

Traditionally high school graduates from around the country finish school in November over the course of three weeks, each week belonging to a particular state of Year 12's so they may party with their own fellow students. Click here for more information.

When should we book?

Most schoolies book during Grade 11. The most-booked rooms go first, so lock yours in once your group has picked a destination.

Do we all have to pay at once?

No. One person books the room, then everyone joins and pays their own share. Interest-free options like FlexiPay and PayPal Pay in 4 are there if you want them.

Can I go to Schoolies if I'm 17?

Of course you can! Don't stress, you're not alone, not everyone who graduates is 18. Thousands of under 18-year-old Schoolies travel with Schoolies.com each year. If you aren't going to be 18, we recommend looking at travelling to Gold Coast and Bali, these two are by far the best destinations for all age events. Find out more about our all ages parties.

What events are on during Schoolies?

Some destinations offer official parties and events across the week. Check out the party page for Schoolies.com events.

Are there parties and events in all Schoolies destinations?

Not all Schoolies destinations offer parties. To see what parties and events are on offer please refer to our party page. Please note, the event schedule for Schoolies destinations with parties is not confirmed until close to the event date. If the party page doesn't have information about your Schoolies destination or year, please email info@schoolies.com and our staff can help clarify any questions you have.

Do all Schoolies destinations have parties for both Under 18s and 18 plus graduates?

No. Not all Schoolies destinations have parties, and not every destination offers events for both Under 18 and 18 plus graduates. Event availability varies by location. We recommend checking the party page for your chosen destination to see what events are available and which age group they cater to.

How do I access Schoolies.com Party Passes in Bali?
