Town braces for schoolies arrival

Town braces for schoolies arrival :

"Last year, 68 schoolies needed hospital treatment for a variety of problems, ranging from bee stings, sunburn and asthma to issues related to alcohol and substance abuse.

First aid officers also treated another 357."

As I have said before, you get what you are prepared to accept. The people in Victor Harbour must be very accepting to go through this year after year for a week. Were there an influx of 10, 000 teenagers around here for a week it would be disruptive and chaotic even if they were nice and lovely. 10,000 oldies would also make a difference. There didn't used to be schoolies and now it appears to be a compulsory rite of passage to what? Good luck, Victor!!
