The celebrations typically takes place over 2-3 weeks, starting mid to late November. The week you attend depends on your preference, grad date and age. Some destinations and weeks are better suited for 17 year-olds or in mixed age groups.
Gold Coast week 1 is recommended if someone in your group is going to be 17 at Schoolies as there are loads of parties and events including the Schoolies Nation Festival that allow school leavers of all ages to celebrate together, some events even have a licensed bar for 18+ graduates.
Gold Coast week 2 is best for 18-year-olds wanting to enjoy the nightclub scene. While 17-year-olds can still attend, event access is more limited.
International Schoolies is another great choice, providing unique experiences for an unforgettable celebration, no matter your age.
Airlie Beach is also a fantastic option for U18’s with a 7-night all-age festival and loads of activities for all ages.
