Schoolie is Australian slang for a high school student celebrating graduation, especially one traveling to beach destinations for end-of-year festivities: The Gold Coast fills up with schoolies every November.
The annual period of these celebrations is called schoolies week.
In fishing slang, a schoolie is an undersized or juvenile fish, particularly a striped bass too small to keep.
