Peninsula Schoolies will again return to Rye foreshore for 2023. Hosted by Mornington Peninsula Shire, the week-long Schoolies Hub will run from Saturday 25 November to Friday 1 December, giving school leavers a dedicated area in which to make lasting memories and shake off the pressures of their final year of school.
Schoolies is a long-standing tradition and a rite of passage for school leavers and Rye is a popular destination for many leavers celebrating their end of year exams.
Right on the beach, the Schoolies Hub at Rye foreshore is the perfect place for Schoolies to dance the night away in a supportive and age-appropriate environment.
Each night will feature a different line-up of talented local DJs and party themes (to be announced soon!).
Importantly, our support teams, including our Youth Services team, DanceWize and Red Frog volunteers, will be on hand to make sure young people can celebrate and stay safe.
We are in contact with local businesses and residents, and we’ll work with our community to keep Schoolies celebrations safe.
Peninsula Schoolies 2023 tickets cost just $50 for a week-long pass. The pass gets ticket holders access to the Schoolies Hub, get home safe bus service and wellbeing support.
The bus service operates between 9pm and 1am to transport young people safely back to their accommodation within the Southern Peninsula. Young people can ask our Youth Services staff or call a dedicated Red Frogs hotline when they are ready to go home.
Peninsula Schoolies is for 2023 school leavers only.
