Leavers celebrations have officially kicked off in WA.

Over 10,000 teenagers have made the trip down south for four days of organised entertainment and activities in Dunsborough and Busselton.

The Designated Leavers Entertainment Zones will require a wristband to enter.

South West District Superintendent Geoff Stewart urged attendees to stay safe during the celebrations but to also have fun.

“Parents and the community can rest assured that things have been done to ensure that the community and the leavers have a good week,” he said.

Leavers Week runs until Thursday, November 24.
