They made a beeline for The Golden Sheaf hotel in their traditional dress: A white linen shirt and beige chinos. “It’s a celebration,” one of the students explained, adjusting the collar of his linen shirt, which perfectly matched the attire of at least a dozen other young men in the vicinity. “We’ve worked hard all year, and now it’s time to unwind in style.” As the evening progressed, the group was seen…

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?
