With exams now behind them, the class of 2024 gathered en masse in the South West this week to celebrate leavers week, taking the plunge off the Busselton Jetty, enjoying the tranquil shores of Dunsborough, and partying long into the night.

Former students took part in the festivities at the Dunsborough leavers zone, enjoyed the freedom to explore the South West, or kicked back and hung out with friends, as thousands of recent graduates took to the region to celebrate the end of their schooling journey.

Despite a wet start to the week, spirits were high among the students on Tuesday as they took to the beach to enjoy their newly earned freedom
