Country Education Foundation Australia (CEF) was thrilled to see the huge success of its inaugural ‘Boot Bash’ on Friday 15th March 2024!
Our goal is to build awareness of the post-school education participation gap that exists between regional and metropolitan youth, and raise additional funds for every CEF student in 2024. We want to help them kickstart their year – and we need your support!
