HRS GAP Student Program
We are seeking eligible ex-Students who have recently competed Year 12 and are looking to gain new experiences before commencing university.
This is commonly refered to as a GAP year, hence our HRS GAP Student Program.
We employ GAP Students anywhere from Term 1 to 4. Please indicate your preference in your cover letter.
Hours of Work
Your ordinary hours of work will be based on School hours and activities.
Your hours of work, lunch and break schedules will be determined by the Head of Operations and may vary from time to time. You may also be asked to work some additional hours in order to accommodate student and boarding needs.
Allowances/Accommodation
Upon commencement of your placement, you will receive an allowance of $150 per week, less applicable tax. This rate will be roughly based on a 5-day week. This allowance is not payable during term breaks. Super is not payable on this allowance.
Your allowance will be paid to a financial institution of your choice on a fortnightly basis.
All meals during school terms will be provided via our dining room.
Accommodation is included with your placement; it is your responsibility to clean and maintain your living quarters. During the school term, the school dining room will provide all your meals. You can use your allowance to assist with incidentals, such as Snacks or the purchasing of your own meals if you do not wish to eat the meals provided. During the school holiday periods, GAP Students will need to provide their own meals.
You will have key/electronic access to boarding (accommodation), classrooms and dining room.

As a GAP Student there is no entitlement for any leave (e.g. sick/personal/annual). If you are absent for more than a few days, a reduction in the allowance payable may be considered.
