The week you attend depends on your graduation date and age. Check with your school for the recommended week for your year group.

Gold Coast Week 1 is the best pick for under 18s. The Schoolies Nation Festival is open to all ages, and some events even have a licensed bar section for 18+ graduates. Airlie Beach also runs a 7-night all-ages festival. International destinations like Bali, Fiji and Vanuatu also welcome all school leavers regardless of age.

Most Australian destinations run 1 or 2 weeks. Byron Bay runs 2 weeks. International trips like Fiji have multiple departure dates spread across 4 to 5 trips, so you can choose the window that suits your schedule.

As early as possible. The best rooms and hotels sell out first. Booking early also gives you access to Flexi Pay, which lets you spread the cost in small monthly payments rather than paying everything upfront.

Gold Coast is the biggest, with the most events and accommodation options. Byron Bay has a more relaxed vibe with a Chill Week and an Official Week. Airlie Beach is ideal for all ages. International options like Fiji offer a premium resort experience with flights and meals included. Bali is the #1 International destination with packages including accommodation and party pass giving you access to the biggest events at the hottest venues in Bali
