Hendra Police had the pleasure of speaking with year 12 students from Mary MacKillop College, Nundah about all things Schoolies and beyond today.
With grade 12 students walking out of school for the last time this Friday, today was a great opportunity to discuss what to expect during Schoolies.
Students experience Schoolies in many different formats, with some attending traditional venues such as the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, but many also opting to travel further afield and even abroad.
Top tips for students heading to Schoolies and other celebrations include:

Caring for yourself and your mental well being – don’t be afraid to walk away, chill out and take care of you if it is all getting too much;
Don’t risk it and call Triple Zero (000) in an emergency;
Respect the community – people still live and work in the places you go to celebrate so be considerate of them; and
Be safe and watch
