GAP YEAR
Considering a GAP year?
After 12 years at school, it’s no surprise some students are fed up with study.
If you’re not sure what you want to do once school’s over, or if you’re just ready for a break then a Gap Year could be the answer.
A Gap Year is the name we give a long break taken between high school (or university) and what comes next. It’s a great time to take time away from formal study or work because you’re generally not burdened with debt or family that will make taking time out difficult later in life.

You could travel, work, experience, or learn on a Gap Year.

SBATs (School-based apprenticeships and traineeships)
What is an SBAT
School-Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBAT) allow students to train and get paid work while completing a VET Certificate while studying VCE or VCAL.
A School-Based Apprenticeship or Traineeship (SBAT) offers students the option of combining their senior secondary education with part-time employment and skills training. The program is undertaken under a formal training contract with an employer and has a training plan registered with the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA). The training must lead to a nationally recognised qualification, as determined by the VRQA.
To find out more about SBATs contact Kendra Scaife at kendra.scaife@education.vic.gov.au
