There’s no doubt about it, Dunsborough and Busselton are the best places to celebrate Leavers in Western Australia. The south west beaches swell as thousands of school leavers flock to the beach towns for five epic days of sun, surf, nightly parties and good vibes with their mates. Over the last decade it has become a rite of passage and a must-do event for every student graduating grade 12. 

Days are spent relaxing on the beach - playing beach cricket, working on the tan or catching the awesome waves. Mates usually then arrange a barbeque at the accommodation before getting ready for a night at the Leavers Zone in Dunsborough. The Zone is organised by the WA Police and includes nightly entertainment, fun festival rides and a safe haven for leavers to celebrate. Tickets to the zone are purchased at the start of Leavers once you’ve arrived in Busselton or Dunsborough.
