Schoolies Week is a three week graduation festival celebrated on the Gold Coast by Year 12 school leavers from all around Australia. It takes place after the Year 12 Leaving Certificate during November-December.  Every year thousands of Year 12 students come from around Australia as they let there hair down and celebrate their end of school years and the completion of their Leaving Certificate.
 
Be where the action is! Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach offer a large number of accommodation providers that have proven to provide Schoolies with quality accommodation and a fair attitude.

Fair Rules Imposed By Reputable Accommodation Providers –

• Rules should not impose any obligations on people staying at the resort apartments during Schoolies Week than would be imposed on residents at other times of year.
• Evictions of tenants should only take place in extreme circumstances. Warning processes should be implemented.
• The apartment has an accessible complaint handling and dispute resolution process available for tenants.

Things for Schoolies to consider –

• The best way to be treated like royalty at schoolies accommodation resorts and be left alone to have a good time is - be decent with the people who work at the resort / hotel and stay on their good side.
• If it is in the house rules - they will enforce it. If you want to lose your bond or get kicked out that's up to you but here it is - if you throw something over the verandah you are a loser. Chucking stuff over the edge of a high rise building (even a piece of ice) can kill or seriously hurt someone on the ground.
• The Schoolies Week Survival Guide was written by former Schoolies and details heaps of other stuff to help you maximize the fun and avoid the pitfalls that can be a part of Schoolies.
