Many of the class of 2023 are continuing the celebrations this week with Schoolies.

The Anti-formal

Storm clouds threatened but the 30-strong Fraser Coast Year 12 graduates who were not permitted to attend their school formal were determined to have a blast at their ‘anti-formal’, held at the Arkarra Gardens.
