Safety at Schoolies
Red Frogs
Red Frogs is an internationally recognized schoolies support network which has been
operating for over 12 years. Since their induction into schoolies on the Gold Coast
in 1997, the Red Frog Crew have given out tonnes of Allen's Frogs Alive Red Frogs
every year as an ice-breaker at 17 schoolies and leavers festivals around Australia.
Over 1200 Red Frogs Crew volunteers aim to support school-leavers through their
week-long celebrations, providing a positive presence within their party culture.
The Red Frog Crew assist school-leavers by walking young people home, cooking pancakes,
cleaning rooms, handing out Allen's Red Frogs and most importantly, offering emotional
support through what can often be a challenging week.

Wristbands & Activities
The QLD Government provides
wristbands to every Schoolie holidaying on the Gold Coast. Details on how to obtain
a wristband will be made available closer to the time.
Activities are exclusively for Schoolies and require proof of Year 12 student
ID to access.
Schoolies are urged to keep their wristband on for the entire duration of their
stay on the Gold Coast. If you remove or share this wristband it will make it invalid.
Safety
A variety of support services will be offered during Schoolies Week at key destinations.
There is a highly visible presence of services such as police, security, emergency
services, officials and volunteers. They offer general support, medical assistance,
advice and information.
In the past, Surfers Paradise has also offered a Schoolies only zone to prevent
the toolies from taking part in the celebrations.
