Tuesday November 30th:
Schoolies refers to the Australian tradition of high-school graduates (known as "Schoolies") having week-long holidays following the end of their final exams in late November and early December. This is the season and the newspapers and TV are filled with stories of mainly activities and parties on beaches. Schoolies Week is considered by some as a cultural rite of passage in Australia. The most enduring Schoolies Week tradition is the first run down the beach and dive into the ocean after school is finished forever. That plunge of freedom is the essence of freedom Schoolies symbolises. Over the years the whole thing has got out of control with many arrests and horror stories of violence and abuse.
"Toolies" refers to older revellers who participate in Schoolies week but are not high-school graduates. "Foolies" or "Pre-schoolies" refers to younger adolescents, who participate in Schoolies week but have not yet graduated from high school.
I must do a blog on colloquialisms, they are brilliant.
