BUCKET LIST FOR SCHOOLIES

There are a whole host of activities on offer for the hordes of schoolies about to descend upon the Gold Coast

SCHOOLIES will lap up the surf, sand and sun as a priority while on the Gold Coast but top of their bucket lists will likely be adrenaline-infused water sports and hitting new heights.

With social media a huge part of school leavers’ lives, climbing Mt Warning, taking on the Q1 tower’s SkyPoint Climb, Movie World’s new DC Rival HyperCoaster and parasailing will be musts during end-ofyear celebrations.

Inspire has pulled together the top 25 things Schoolies should do while on the Glitter Strip.
