The event is adapted from a US trend where students meet at sunrise on the first day of classes in their senior year.The end of year 12 usually entails elaborate muck-up day pranks and sometimes wild, alcohol-fuelled celebrations, but Sydney high school students are embracing a wholesome way to mark the occasion.
"We sat and watched the sunrise and went for a swim. Everyone was a bit cold, but there was this nervous excitement," she said.

Deputy principal Jeff Brown said the school had been doing the sunrise walk with Year 12s since 2001.
