Safe, supportive and fun: Schoolies Hub returns to Rye

Published on 04 November 2024

Peninsula Schoolies will return to Rye foreshore later this month. Hosted by Mornington Peninsula Shire, the Schoolies Hub will run from Saturday 23 to Thursday 28 November, giving school leavers a dedicated area 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 young people graduating high school. Rye has been a popular destination among many school leavers for years. Our Hub will allow school leavers to dance the night away in an age-appropriate environment, supported by the Youth Services team, DanceWize and Red Frog volunteers.    

We are in contact with local businesses and residents and we’ll work with our community to keep the celebrations safe.  

Peninsula Schoolies 2024 tickets cost just $30 for a week-long pass, or single-night tickets are $10. Each night will feature a different line-up of talented local DJs and party themes. The pass gets ticket holders access to the Schoolies Hub, wellbeing support and the 'get home safe' bus service.  

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 2024 school leavers only.
