Further reading, teach yourself stuff you haven't learnt in class yet, do early revision in preparation for Jan.

Do you know what you want to study at university? If so, read books around that subject. For example, I'm applying for physics and mathematics this year, so last year I spend a lot of time reading popsci/maths books that helped me expand my understanding of the subject (and you can write about them on your PS).

Although there were some low brow, simplified books a lot of them were extremely enjoyable, and a few of the mathematical books I read were some of the best books I have ever read.

Also, read NewScientist as often as possible, this will expand your knowledge ever further and allow you to keep up to date with developments.
