Tuesday, 14 November 2023
School leavers heading to Victor Harbor for the 25th anniversary of the Schoolies Festival are encouraged to THINK! Road Safety and make use of the free bus services available.
The South Australian Government is again partnering with Encounter Youth to help the Class of 2023 celebrate the end of the school year safely and responsibly, with free return bus services available.
Buses will depart Adelaide Central Bus Station (85 Franklin Street, Adelaide) at 10am and 2pm on Friday, 17th November 2023.
The service will stop at all major accommodation venues including Encounter Bay, Victor Harbor, Port Elliot, Middleton and Goolwa, making sure everyone arrives safely.
Thousands of school leavers are expected to converge on Victor Harbor and the surrounding region for the Schoolies Festival, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
To make sure everyone can have a great time at the three-day event, a free bus circuit will also be available around the region helping school leavers get to and from their accommodation day and night.
Students are encouraged to do their homework and revise the bus timetable so they don’t get caught out.
Planning to drive yourself or a group? Make sure you are well rested before departing and remember to take regular breaks along the way and use the safest vehicle available.
Remember that additional rules apply to provisional licence holders. P1 and P2 licence holders must not drive with any alcohol or drugs in their system, drive a high-powered vehicle, or drive over 100km/h even if the local speed limit exceeds 100km/h. P1 drivers aged 25 years and under are also subject to peer passenger and night-driving restrictions.
