Gap year
Many students take a GAP Year at the end of Year 13. It can be a great opportunity to earn some money for tertiary study, gain work experience or see the world. Gap years are valuable if well planned and have purpose. One of the most attractive options is to travel overseas. There are many opportunities to spend time working, exploring and volunteering.
