School leavers converge on Gold Coast
Updated
In the 1970's a group of school leavers headed to the Gold Coast for two weeks of celebration...marking the end of their school days.
More than thirty five years later, the annual Schoolies period has turned into a teen pilgrimage, over 75-thousand students are expected at Schoolies locations around the country this year. The event, which officially begins tomorrow, has been plagued in recent years by arrests and street violence...especially on the Gold Coast, the biggest Schoolies destination of all.
