Fun stuff, great memories, I imagine.

Meh, never went to prom or any of that stuff. High school in America is terrifying.

Glad things went well though.

We don't have 'proms'.

Australia has SCHOOLIE'S WEEK!

Our school year ends in November,just in time for our summer.

Schoolie's week happens all over the country. Thousands of year 12 boys an girls invade a series of coastal towns for a week long party. There is much drinking and rooting,with a high police presence,but usually very few arrests-they tend to be of predatory adults,known by schoolies as "toolies" I live in South Australia. Here the event is held at Victor Harbour, 50 miles South of [/php]Adelaide..

History of Schoolies Week

If you have any questions, or can contribute information about the history of Schoolies Week - please comment in this thread of the National Schoolies Forum.

Schoolies first began at Broadbeach in the 1970s. Over the past four decades, Australian high school graduates have celebrated their graduation with a week-long party at a popular tourist destination. Known as 'Schoolies Week,' it is the most significant youth event in the national social calendar.

Schoolies as a 'Rite of Passage'

Schoolies Week is considered by some as a cultural rite of passage in Australia, it is an in between phase or transition time in terms of social status. After graduating high school, young people can emerge into the adult world, beyond high school and into a life of their own design. Schoolies Week is a celebration to mark this event or transition.

It's never a real party until alcohol or pot or whatnot is involved...

cool.

Wasn't allowed to go to prom when I was in high school. My father didn't approve of dancing, music .... actually anything remotely fun and/or enjoyable.

Made up for it in my 20s.
