- GROW AS A LEADER
As a GAP student, you’ll play an active role across a busy Kindergarten to Year 12 campus. From classroom support to co-curricular activities and Boarding House duties, you’ll gain hands-on experience while developing confidence, initiative, and leadership skills that will serve you for life.
- FINISH UNI AND START YOUR ADVENTURE

- ADVENTURE AWAITS
Beyond school life, weekends and holidays are yours to explore. Discover Sydney’s iconic beaches, travel across Australia’s unique landscapes, and dive into a social and cultural experience like no other. PLC Sydney is just 20 minutes from the iconic Opera House and Harbour via the nearby Croydon Train Station.
- MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Whether you’re helping students through their school day, assisting in sport, or offering guidance in the Boarding House, your presence makes a genuine impact—and leaves you changed for the better.
“I’ve absolutely loved my time as a GAP at PLC Sydney! It’s such a supportive, friendly, and welcoming community, and no two days are ever the same. Some of the highlights for me have been working with students in the Transition Class (a special education integration program), going on various camps and excursions, and spending time in the Boarding House. I’ve really enjoyed the balance of having structure and routine during the week, while still making the most of weekends and long holidays to explore and travel. I’d definitely recommend being a Gappy at PLC Sydney!” Emily Newman (current GAP student).
Applications now open for the July 2025 – June 2026 intake.
