Sydney private school leaver cuts Schoolies Week short, after discovering there’s no Totti’s in Surfers Paradise

HOLIDAY HELL: It was meant to be the party of a lifetime: sun, sand and fun with her closest friends after finishing the HSC.

But for one recent graduate of Kambala school in Sydney’s east, Schoolies Week on the Gold Coast has ended in tears, only hours after it began.

“I just assumed there’d be at least one Totti’s in Surfers Paradise,” Maddie Grafton-Burns told our reporter.

“How can a place call itself ‘Paradise’ without having Totti’s wood-fired bread? It’s an absolute joke.”

The 18 year old’s friends attempted to console her by suggesting alternative dining options, but Ms Grafton-Burns was having none of it.

“I packed my bags and got the first flight home,” she says.

“I couldn’t see any point in staying there.”

Her parents agree.

“We support Maddie’s decision to return home,” says her mother.

“It’s important that she feels comfortable and has access to the amenities she’s accustomed to.”
