bilby commented on the word schoolie
"Schoolies celebrations on the Gold Coast have been marred by an increased number of arrests this year, but organisers say the graduating class of 2009 are tame compared to their predecessors. Gold Coast Schoolies Advisory Group chairman Mark Reaburn praised the behaviour of Schoolies, saying the majority of graduates had heeded warnings against binge drinking and illict drug taking."
