Schoolies' week will soon hit Western Australia

Tweet

Our senior high school students finish school very shortly and the tradition is to go away with their peers and celebrate in some way or other. The week after school closes (for them) has become known as 'schoolies' week'. Some of the ways in which the young ones celebrate are better than others. Our seaside towns usually experience an influx of these young people, some of whom do considerable damage to their rental accommodation. Others throw parties which get out of hand with abuse of drugs and alcohol. The authorities have tried various ways to handle such situations including organising dances and concerts with security guards to keep out those slightly older who fancy their chances at picking up the young girls. A news article today says that some schools are addressing issues of sexual health which is well and good but in my day we’d hav had no idea what sexual health even was. Times sure have changed.
