Vast distances and lack of finances are just two of the barriers to education for students for rural, regional and remote Australia. Funds raised as part of the Boot Bash will provide CEF students with direct financial support to give education inequity the boot.
CEF most recent ‘Boot Bash’ was on Friday 14th March 2025, find out more here!
