Year 12 students across Noosa ran into the ocean in school uniform this week in what has become a tradition to mark the seniors final day of school and the beginning of their post-school lives.
On Thursday in perfect beach conditions it was the turn of Sunshine Beach State High School.
The excited teenagers clambered on to the school bus for the short ride to Noosa Main Beach where their parents were waiting to watch their dash to the sea.
Proud parents told Noosa Today of their children’s plans for the future.
Some were going to celebrate their school years at Schoolies, some were not. A few were heading to Bali for a week, with mothers in tow.
A few planned to spend a week with friends at quieter beach destinations and others were beginning their careers as early as next week after completing Certificate courses during their school years and lined up a job.
Some planned to study at universities, others were going to have a gap year before future study and a few had plans to travel overseas.
The immediate plans for all was to enjoy a gala graduation on Thursday evening.
