More and more Australian high school graduates choose to take a year off before entering the university experience? Gap year? (Gap Year). Many countries, including Australia, allow high school graduates or college graduates to delay their admission 1 year. Graduates usually use this time to travel, work or volunteer, increase social experience and find career development direction. Andrew stanton, director of the University Admissions Center, said that according to universities, gap years have become more and more common in recent years. Michella James, head of admissions at the University of Sydney, said that the university supports students to take a year off before entering school. ? In the past five years, the number of students who choose to take a gap year or postpone their enrollment has been increasing. ? John Collier, principal of St Andrew's Cathedral School, and Barbara Si Tong, principal of MLC School in Burwood District, said that more and more high school graduates choose gap years. Principal Collier said:? Students usually feel very tired after studying 1 1 and 12. They think they should have a good rest and not go to school to travel for the time being. ? Miles Carson, 17, from Balmain, took the international bachelor's degree examination at St. Andrew's Cathedral School last year and plans to go to England for one year to teach cricket and debate team at King's School in Gloucester. ? I never like going directly to college after graduating from 12. My life experience lags far behind my studies. ? Max Henshaw, 18 years old, comes from Roselle, where he also took the same exam. He plans to travel 1 year, and then go to college to study liberal arts. ? The IB exam is so tragic that I need to drop my studies, have a good rest and try to be independent. I want to explore and help others. Gap years can let me know what I want and know myself better. ? Henshaw plans to volunteer in schools and communities in South America through an institution in Sydney that specializes in organizing gap year projects for developing countries, and then volunteer in a school in Canada. Colin Carpenter, general manager of anti pedians overseas, said that the number of students in counseling gap years has increased by 30% this year. ?

Backpack travel costs a lot of money. ? Amelia Noble, 18, from Haberfield, graduated from Burwood MLC High School with a score of 99.8 last year. ? We have been studying in school for 13 years, so it is really important to set aside some time to go out and see the world. ? Noble said that he would not consider taking courses until he returned to Australia. ? I don't want to rush into college when I'm not sure what I want to do in the future.
