Contributor's comments: Certainly in recent times (last 15 years) I have used the word "afters" to refer to after school care, but I used it at school as a shortened for afternoon tea as in "We're going to Mum's for afters". Victorian mother, WA educated Dad, lived all my life in Victoria.
Contributor's comments: a party after a school ball - 'befores' is the party before the ball where everyone meets up to go to the ball together.
Contributor's comments: 'Afters' generally refers to any party occurring after a big event - not just a school ball. It tends to be prefaced by what the event was - ie. 'ball afters' or 'production afters'. I think it was derived from 'after-ball party' or something to that effect.
