It's end of school season for those young Australians in their final year of high school, which means many of them will be taking part in a big end of year celebration.

But did you know there's a big state by state divide between those who call it a Formal and those who call it a Ball?

We can practically tell where you are from based on what you call it!

Take a listen below and see if it matches what you say. 

After listening to this and taking a poll amongst our team, this is what we think is the most common in each state:

WA - Ball

QLD - Formal

NSW - Mix of Ball and Formal

VIC - Formal

SA - Formal

TAS - Leavers Dinner
