Defined Terms and Documents      'Aboriginal Teenager Life Skills' RTV Early Intervention Programme 

Notes to the 'Life Skills' Programme Budget

1.        Students would travel by shuttle/bus for up to 800km each way.  On average, each of the 140 Accepted Year 9 Aboriginal Students would require return air transport to two of their three Challenge Judging Venues.  With only 'One Challenge Venue' in the Third RTV Year (either Sydney or Melb. yet to be determined), the Third Year will experience the highest air travel costs.

2.        In order to attend their Three Motivational Teams Challenges, students would be billeted at GPS or CHS Colleges during the Late September/Early October School Holidays when the majority of 'borders' are absent visiting their families.

3.        Students will not receive Student Sports Clothing, Equipment, Suit and PC until it is required for the relevant Motivational Teams Challenge.  Hence, Students would not receive -

           (a)        a school style suits with a discrete breast insignia displaying the 'Team Darwin', 'Team Palmerston', 'Team Katherine', 'Team Alice Springs' , 'Team 'Arnhem', 'Team Barkly' to wear in group public speaking/debating meetings and at the Southern City Public Speaking Challenge until a week prior to departing for their Year 10  Mixed Teams' Public Speaking Challenge in late September in the Second RTV Year; and

           (b)        a Netbook Computer (a Notebook Computer without a CD Drive) cost $450 each until March in the Third RTV Year to familiarise for the Year 11  Mixed Teams' I.T. Geek Challenge.
