The following resource and information is
available at the schools careers website:
www.evansriverk12careers.com
Gap Year A "Gap Year" is where you take a "year off"
after your secondary schooling to do something else before you undertake
further education and training (or full time employment).
Normally, people travel, work part time or do volunteer work, or a combination
of these.
It is now a common practice to defer university for a year and undertake these
activities before commencing university the following year. Students often use
this time to work to gain "independent status" before going to university,
however, I suggest you visit the Centrelink website to check on the current
guidelines for this.
More information about gap years can been found on our website by selecting
Post School Options > Gap Year/Volunteering or by clicking here.
