Have you just finished year 12 and want a break from study?

Not sure what you want to do once school’s over?

Want to take the stress out of waiting for your ATAR score?

Take a Gap Year at AKD and make it a Year of Growth.

 

Experience what it’s like to work within Australia’s largest sawmilling company, growing and manufacturing sustainable quality timber products.
