School may be out but the uniforms are still in: LUCY MANLY heads to Schoolies Week in Surfers Paradise and discovers the daring fashion trend that will leave school principals in tears

Thousands of teenagers have flooded the Gold Coast for the first night of ‘Schoolies Week’ festivities after completing their GCSEs.

But even though they’ve left school behind for the last time, the same can’t be said for their school uniforms.

Dozens of former pupils still proudly wore their one-off school outfits as they visited Surfers Paradise on Saturday evening – but only after complimenting them definitely a daring makeover ahead of the wild party week.

A recent graduate of Assisi Catholic College in Upper Coomera, Ally Sullivan, joked that the provocative folds and pleats she had added to her old uniform would not have gone down well with her school – or with her savior.

“Jesus wouldn’t approve of what we did to our uniforms,” she laughed.

Former classmate Scarlett Tattersall agreed, but added: ‘We were good Catholic schoolgirls… but when schools are out we can do whatever we want!’

Eva Pendelbuy, who was a student at Tamborine Mountain State High School until about 48 hours ago, said her former principal wouldn’t be impressed either – but of course that was half the fun.

“Our teachers would say, ‘Girls, pull down your skirts!'” she said.

‘It’s very strict for a public school, [our alterations] would be an immediate expulsion!’

School may be out, but former students say the uniforms are still there… after a few adjustments

Girls at Ipswich Girls Grammar school said they are doing well at their school and the teachers are proud of it

However, not everyone thought the “sexy” changes would offend their former teachers.

A group of recent graduates from Ipswich Girls Grammar School said their former teachers would be proud to reclaim their outfits.

“Our teachers would love what we did with our uniform; it is a progressive and accepting school,” said one of the girls.

“As long as we take care of each other, that’s what’s important.”

The outfit overhaul comes days after students at an elite Brisbane private school sparked outrage by posting sexually suggestive images of themselves during a wild night out on social media.

Students at the exclusive All Hallows’ School in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley attracted unwanted attention at a party on Thursday evening.

Videos and images posted online reportedly showed the girls engaging in a series of suggestive acts, including pretending to bite and lick another student’s buttocks, while one girl’s underwear was written with the words “Catholic slut !’

Other videos show students in compromising positions on their knees as they simulate sex acts, which one shocked parent described as “promoting promiscuity” and “absolutely humiliating.”

The fashion trend is sure to raise eyebrows as it shows a lot of skin

Even former schoolboys embraced their uniforms for the first night of celebration

The widely shared clips also show the students brandishing alcoholic drinks and near-empty bottles of wine as they grind against each other.

In the videos and images, we see the students wearing revealing outfits made from cut-up school uniforms.

Saturday night celebrations continued well into the night, with teenagers flocking to the beach for a dance party.

Revelers were told to look out for their friends and put safety first as they enter the action-packed event.

Volunteers from the Safer Schoolies initiative and Red Frogs attended the check-in and patrolled the most popular areas.

Pop-up tents are set up every evening to provide assistance to partygoers who may need medical attention.
