POLICE have praised the good behaviour of schoolies, but a teenage girl's fatal fall from a balcony has overshadowed the final night of festivities.

A total of 45 schoolies were arrested on 53 charges - mostly of public nuisance - across the Gold Coast on Friday night.

Police said schoolies were generally well behaved this year.

But the week hit a tragic note on Thursday night when 17-year-old Mt St Michaels graduate Isabelle Colman fell from the balcony of her 26th floor hotel room.

Police are still investigating the incident, which cast a pall over the usually upbeat event.

Celebrations have officially ended for Queensland students, but many school leavers from interstate are headed for the Gold Coast in coming days.

Superintendent Paul Ziebarth said police would still be targeting public drunkenness and underage drinking.

"I would say to these schoolies who intend on visiting pubs and clubs to ensure they maintain an appropriate and acceptable level of behaviour," he said.

"It is also timely to remind our interstate visitors that in Queensland it is illegal to consume alcohol in a public place."
