Many school leavers flock to the picturesque coastal communities of Busselton, Dunsborough, and Margaret River, while others travel abroad to places like Bali and Thailand. Dunsborough and it’s nearby suburbs Busselton and Margaret River shines out among these exceptional locations as a perfect region for a memorable Leavers trip.

Dunsborough, a picturesque surf community, is where the magic of Leavers comes to life.
