Is Schoolies in Magnetic Island safe?
Your level of safety is determined by your behaviour, however several measures have been put in place to make it as safe as possible for you. As a location, Magnetic Island is one of the safest Schoolies locations available
We have been advised to only book at an Official Schoolies Resort. Is this right?
Absolutely. This is a must to ensure you that have no problems at check-in. It will also ensure you are at a “Verified” schoolies hotel – these hotels must meet guidelines of safety, prime location, good rooms, schoolies-friendly staff, and it also ensures that you don’t miss out on the genuine schoolies experience.
What should I look out for with a schoolies hotel?
On Magnetic Island, location is very important, so ensure you are where the action is – The best stretch of beach, shops, cafes and schoolies entertainment are at a part of the island called “Horseshoe Bay“. It is also a huge benefit to be amongst other schoolies – the last thing you want is to be at a hotel with young kids taking up the pool, and elderly people asking you to keep the noise down after 8pm. Schoolies hotels are set up especially for the enjoyment of schoolies… you’re here celebrating the end of high school after all!
