Distanced schoolies POLICE will be monitoring schoolies celebrations more closely than usual this year. Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Russell Barrett warned partygoers at schoolies hotspots like the Mornington Peninsula that they must still adhere to the state’s COVID-19 guidelines. “We know that 2020 has been a very difficult year for everyone, none more so than our Year 12 students who have sadly missed out on a lot of milestone moments in their final year of schooling,” he said. “We understand many school leavers will be looking forward to celebrating the end of this huge year with their friends, however these celebrations must be held in a safe and responsible way that also adheres to the Chief Health Officer’s directions. “Police will continue to work closely with partner agencies, local councils and school leavers to make sure everyone has an enjoyable and safe time.” Police will increase their patrols across the Surf Coast, Phillip Island, and Mornington Peninsula.
