Schoolies on the Gold Coast

 

We have developed this page for you if you are finishing your secondary education in Australia and are considering participating in, what is now an institution to Australian school leavers, Schoolies on the Gold Coast.

 

Schoolies week comes to the Gold Coast during November, and doesn't leave until sometime in December. The official dates differ state by state, year by year to co-incide with the end of exams, so make sure you ask around to get your dates right. Here are some tips about the event.

 

Make sure you book your surfboard early. Our surfboards typically are hired out really quickly coming into summer. During Schoolies, thousands of fit young aussies who love the surf, descend on our shores to have a massive beach party. Of course they want surfboards. So call us on 0432 742 560 today to make sure you reserve your board. You can view our surfboards here.

 

There are plenty of opportunities available for cheap accommodation on the Gold Coast. So do some homework to get the best deal. We have set up an accommodation search on our hotel reservations page which we recommend you try first. We have more tips to help you on our cheap accommodation page. So try there if you are still struggling.
