With Schoolies week coming up in less than 2 months, now is the perfect time to figure out exactly what youre going to do to celebrate the 12 long years youve spent in school. Over the years, the Gold Coast has always been the home to Australias biggest and most fabulous schoolies celebration.
In previous years, Schoolies Gold Coast has seen thousands of school leavers having fun and partying all night long and often with the aid of alcohol which has given Schoolies Gold Coast a bad reputation. However, it seems that this trend has changed.
In a recent article published by news.com.au that looked at Seven trends for Schoolies Week trips in 2014, Unleashed Travel CEO Jot Lynas, listed ‘Activities will trump alcohol’ as his #1 travel trend. Students are now putting a lot of more thought into their Schoolies week celebrations and for many of them, partying and drinking on the beach is simply no longer their top choice. According to the research conducted by his team, a huge percentage of students are now looking for more sophisticated sojourn rather than the former partying all night.
Jot Lynas added that schoolies trips are now evolving into higher-quality experiences as more and more students are focusing on doing meaningful and recreational activities such as water sports. Others are considering overseas volunteer work with local cultures. Meanwhile, others are showing increasing interest in indulging in spa retreats. After 12 years of school and with the stresses of HSC behind them, many students ? particularly girls, are looking for luxury over partying.

A separate article from news.com.au has recently stated a growing number of parents would rather send their kids overseas to celebrate the end of school than to visit the Gold Coast, but when it comes to Schoolies week, Schoolies Gold Coast still comes up trumps for end of year celebrations for students around Australia.
