Mentoring Support Messages means as explained in Six Mentor Guidance Topics explicit mentoring/guidance advice delivered by the Life Skills Guardians in the Second RTV Year which will be prominently featured in the 34  x  One Hour RTV Episodes of "Attaining Teenager Life Skills" about: 

4.           Four Nasty Pitfalls Besetting Teenagers, namely -

               i)            Omnipresent Advertising Traps;

               ii)           Salt and Fat Dependence In Fast Foods And High Caffeine Drinks

               iii)          Quicksand Of Recreational Drug Dependence; and

               iv)          Motor Vehicle Fatality Rates Amongst Drivers Under 25; and

5.          Indigenous Australians, in particular full blood Aborigines, are unable to maintain a 'fatty' Western diet and consume the quantum of alcohol and sugar/caffeine drinks that many Caucasians are consuming; and

6.          Value of Combating Life's Negative Stressors With Regular Positive Stressors - for all but the last scintilla of Homo sapiens 125,000 years tenure on 'terra firma', Homo sapiens led an exceedingly physically active life as a hunter/gather and/or farmer.  Otherwise s/he couldn't feed their family. 

             Regular challenging exercise -

             *         was integral to human survival; and

             *         produces valuable Positive Stressors.

Additionally, Three Indigenous Australians that have "lived experiences of prison" and have defied Australia's Whacko Recidivism Rates by changing their life's fortunes post release, would deliver a presentation that focuses on -

   a)     the people that supported them along that journey, both within the correctional services system and family/friends; and

   b)     the merit of literacy, numeracy and fundamental computer skills - showing the particular Regional Township Team/s on a large screen that dedicated software programs on YouTube that stimulate a want to learn are all attainable on-line

 

The Panel Of Three Judges who attend each of the Four Challenge Judging Venues for each of the Three Motivational Teams Challenges would reaffirm the above three Mentoring Support Messages that by acquiring Teenager Life Skills they too can Maximise Life Opportunities as explained in Overriding Purpose Of 'Aboriginal Teenager Life Skills' Programme.

               A.      accompany the two Life Skills Guardians and one Sporting Role Model that attend each of the Six Regional Townships in latter half of the Second RTV Year to explain the peaceful teachings of the Islamic faith as a religion and a social institution  - followed by 1.7 billion (about 23.4% of the world population) - referred to as Muslims; or

               B.      separately attend each of the Six Regional Townships in latter half of the Second RTV Year, together with a Muslim Sporting Role Model (perhaps from the below athletes), to explain the peaceful teachings of the Islamic faith as a religion and a social institution:

                        Bachar Houli, Richmond AFL Pakistan-born Australian leg-spinner cricketer, Fawad Ahmed Ms. Assmaah Helal Australian soccer player,   Islamic former NRL player, Hazem El Masri Usman Khawaja Test cricketer "

2nd       "To facilitate the Indigenous Advisory Council's Second Priority Area, a representative from the Australian vocational education and training (VET) system could accompany the two Life Skills Guardians and one Sporting Role Model that attend each of the Six Regional Townships in latter half of the Second RTV Year to explain training programmes and study courses associated with the various 'trades' (eg plumbing, electricians, carpentry, plasterer, locksmith etc) including that "women outnumber men in several small trades including animal attendants and trainers, veterinary nurses, clothing trades workers and gallery, medical technicians and library and museum technicians."
