A million bucks just to babysit party going school leavers?

Are they kidding me!?

If that’s a sample of the talent, I’ll do it for a lot less than a mill. That aside, how much money is pumped into the local economy during Spring Break?

My kids got a deal (only one left at this point and he's got another year of school) - return ticket anywhere in the world and enough money for a decent holiday once during their time at university in exchange for not being allowed to go to Schoolies.

And two teachers from the school I teach at are currently up at Surfers Paradise and we'll have two there during the schoolies period at an address our 'ex-'students know about and can go there if they need help.
