top hit for me is "オーストラリアの言葉にSchoolies 「スクーリーズ」という言葉がある。"
third is "「スクーリーズ」(Schoolies)とは、正式には「School Leaves」といって、"
seems like it's given as a transliteration of the English word rather than used as a Japanese word, mainly. IDK.

This only get ~600 Google hits. I don't think it's needed. (When would a Japanese person ever use this word?)

"「おバカ大国」オーストラリア " (ISBN: 9784121505194) page 27: オーストラリアで、夏休みや冬休みなど長い休みに入ったばかりで気分が浮かれている中学生・高校生たちを指す言葉に「スクーリーズ(Schoolies)」というものがあります。
  Comments:
Meaning and definitions below are from the Macquarie Dictionary eg: https://www.macquariedictionary.com.au/features/word/search/?search_word_type=Dictionary&word=schoolie

Technically, the definitions are as follows:
schoolie: a holidaying school student who has just completed their final year exams
schoolies/schoolies week: a period during which large numbers of school leavers holiday together after the completion of their final exams, usually in some popular tourist spot

So perhaps it should be スクーリー rather than スクーリーズ in the first meaning above, although the quoted reference doesn't make this distinction.
