PRINCIPAL’S WORDS Recognising the effects of mental health and the stigma associated with talking about the condition is the focus of Dr Bestmann Week. This initiative started by the Seniors of 2016 will be a regular component of the school calendar. Tim Ralph and the Student Council have been outstanding in keeping the tradition going and implementing other activities such as the cricket game against St. Stephens.
The strength of Margie Bestmann in coming to the school to support us in this week is truly remarkable. The passion in her words, the acknowledgement that so many of us suffer mental health conditions that are unreported, is so important for the Mareeba community. If there are some people who gain the strength to report their feelings, the message has been very successful.
Stand up Mareeba. You are not alone. Mareeba State High School will be there for the students, staff and families in the community. It is Okay not to be Okay. The sooner we acknowledge this and seek help, the better. My thanks again to Mr Ralph, Margie Bestmann and the Student Council team. You have set up a tradition at our school which is truly something to be proud of!

FUTSAL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS On 20th– 22nd October, two teams from Mareeba State High School competed at the National Futsal competition. Our U14 and U18 teams played against some of the largest State and Private schools across the region. Our students performed at their best both on and off the field demon-strating our school values at all times. I am very proud of all the students that travelled away.
Our U14 team narrowly missed out on a place in the finals. Team members are Joey Srhoj, Josh Srhoj, Josh Leporati, Sunnie Fraser, Tobias Patterson and Ben Dayes. Our U18 team played hard in every game winning all games in their pool. They won their first final against Miami State High School and then won the Grand Final against Kings College, making our Mareeba State High School team the National U18 Futsal Champions.
Matthew Trotter was voted Most Valuable Player for the U18 division. The winning team members were Liam Le-porati, James Elmes, Zane Singleton, Isaiah Goncalves, Matthew Trotter, Giovan Spena and Mitchell Greene.
A big thank you must go to Ronnie Leporati, who has trained the boys and organised for them to participate in this event. Congratulations boys on this incredible achieve-ment!

Start your career while you’re still at schoolWhy wait until you’ve left school to get a head start on your future? With an Australian School-based Apprenticeship (AS-bA) you can combine paid part-time work with formal industry-based training while you complete secondary school.
What’s in it for you?As an Australian School-based Apprentice you will gain your Senior Secondary Certificate as well as valuable workplace experience and a nationally recognised qualification at Certificate I, II, III or IV, Diploma or Advanced Diploma level.
How does it work?

Discover your career pathHave a think about what you are good at or what interests you – even ask family and friends to tell you what they think would suit you. Sometimes other people know us better than we know ourselves!
Try before you decideTalk to your VET Coordinator or Careers Advisor about work experience. You’ll not only get an idea of what it’s like to work in the industry you’ve chosen, but your employer may later take you on as a trainee or apprentice.
Find a job to suit your goalsLook at job ads to see what skills are needed for the role you want and use this to get your resumé up to date. Approach employers you would like to work for, ask family or friends if they know anyone who could employ you, and chat to your Careers Advisor, VET Coordinator or local MEGT Consultant.
Get started!Once you’ve found a job, your employer can contact your local MEGT Consultant. We’ll be able to answer any questions you, your employer, or your parent/guardian have about your training or Government incentives. We’ll sign you up as an apprentice or trainee, register your Training Contract with the relevant State Training Authority and get your future underway!

Life after schoolIf you complete your qualification while you’re still at school and decide you want to go to uni, you may be able to gain recognition for your prior study and cut down the time it takes you to get your degree.
If you haven’t completed your AS-bA before you finish school, you can continue with your employer or a new employer until you’re qualified.
What’s in it for your employer?Your employer may be eligible for Government incentives when they take you on as an Australian School-based Apprentice. All the info they need is on the back of this flyer or they can contact us directly if they have any other questions.
Eligibility for AS-bA Commencement IncentiveAn employer who commences an apprentice or trainee in an Australian School-based Apprenticeship (AS-bA) may be eligible for the AS-bA Commencement Incentive of $750 provided the student meets all primary eligibility criteria and:
• is enrolled as a secondary student under the relevant State or Territory Education Act; and• is undertaking an AS-bA at the Certificate II, III, IV, Diploma or Advanced Diploma level that has been endorsed by the School Principal, or equivalent
for non-secondary school education providers, as an integral part of the school programme; and• has completed the full first three months of the endorsed AS-bA; and• is employed by the employer as an Australian Apprentice at the incentive effect date; and• the Training Contract signed by the secondary school, employer, Australian Apprentice and parent/guardian is received by the Apprenticeship
Network Provider (MEGT) and formally approved by the relevant State Training Authority.
Eligibility for AS-bA Retention IncentiveAn employer who retains a young person who had previously commenced an AS-bA may be eligible for the AS-bA Retention Incentive of $750 provided the Australian Apprentice:
• completed at least three calendar months of the endorsed AS-bA before completing secondary school; and
• was eligible to attract the AS-bA Commencement Incentive; and• has not already attracted the AS-bA Retention Incentive for this Australian Apprenticeship; and• finished study at a secondary school, regardless of the level of successful completion; and• has been employed for 12 consecutive weeks and commencement of that employment occurred during the period 1 December to 30 June
following the completion of secondary school, in one of the following situations:
» the Australian Apprentice has completed or not completed their AS-bA while at school and the same employer who employed them for the AS-bA continues to employ them in the same or different Australian Apprenticeship, or
» the Australian Apprentice has completed or not completed their AS-bA while at school and a different employer employs them in the same or a different Australian Apprenticeship (the new employer must meet the eligibility criteria, the waiting period and time limit for claiming incentives), or
» the former AS-bA is employed for a minimum 15 hours per week, in a paid and lawful employment arrangement other than an Australian Apprenticeship, by the same employer with whom they undertook their AS-bA.
In these circumstances ‘same employer’ includes subsequent employment with a host employer where employment from the AS-bA was through a Group Training Organisation and the Australian Apprentice undertook placement with the host employer.
