Pymble GAP Year Program

Did you know the College can connect you with UK Schools to support you in overseas employment in your GAP Year?

The Pymble Ladies’ College GAP program creates a wonderful opportunity for our graduates to participate in a unique experience while representing the College in the global community.

What do Gap students do?

GAP Student roles are a leadership position that are open to every Pymble graduate. These students will be ambassadors for Pymble, NSW and Australia. The future of the GAP Partner Program depends on you. The performance of our girls in the role of GAP staff will determine our ongoing relationship with our partner schools overseas. Candidates should be Pymble girls who demonstrate the core values of the College and are looking for a unique experience at the conclusion of secondary school.

Boarding – House Duties / Supervision
Coaching sport / Drama / Classroom

Involvement in as much school life as possible
