Information for parents and guardians

The end of Year 12 is traditionally a time of celebration for students, and many take the opportunity to head off with friends to various 'Schoolies' locations for a well-deserved break.

It’s the end of one journey and the beginning of another – it’s also a time of great change and mixed emotions.

Soon, your teen may be moving away from home, so Schoolies can be a special time with friends they may not get to see much of in the future. It might also be the first time your teen has been away on holidays by themselves.
