This week, something a little different to introduce you to our final Alumni Award winner for 2022 - joint Launching Star Jayden Reid from Central Australia. ππ
Earlier this year, Rob McDonald from @tba_content travelled to Alice Springs to meet Jayden and document the impact of @cef_central_australia on his life.
There is no better way to know the difference you have made for a young person like Jayden than when you hear him say: "Hopefully, I'll be a role model to my younger siblings and try get them into the trade force. It'd make me proud, probably my family proud and make me feel good as a person." π€©π
CEF is so proud to support and celebrate the achievements of this trailblazing young man.

Did you know??
In Australia, Michael Buble's one and only Christmas album hits number one on the charts at this time of year, every year!π½π
So, of course that got us thinking - what are the go-to songs on your Christmas playlist each year? π§π»
#cefaus #countryeducation #countryeducationfoundation #bubleChristmas #Christmasplaylist
Maybe you have that person who is hard to buy for, someone who already has everything, or you've left your run late and can't bear the thought of the Christmas crowds... ππββοΈ
Perhaps financial struggles meant you - or someone you love - couldn't afford a post-school education... Or maybe you know someone supported by CEF and the difference it makes.
Whatever the reason, consider giving the gift of education this Christmas and donating in someone else's name. It's not only a gift for them; it's a gift for rural and regional students who will get to follow their dreams thanks to your thoughtfulness and generosity. πππ
Education change lives. And families. And communities.

"Home will always be home, but I believe it is very important to explore outside of where you were born and raised to allow yourself to be immersed fully in other life experiences which will make you appreciate what you have at home more."
An explorer and knowledge seeker, Corrin has a deep connection to the Kangaroo Island community where she was raised.
This has given Corrin a unique upbringing and the confidence to accomplish anything she sets her mind to. π€©π
Corrin's support from the Kangaroo Island Country Education Fund has allowed her to live independently in Adelaide as she studies a Bachelor of Forensic Science and Criminology at @flindersuniversity. With this opportunity, Corrin has gained valuable life experiences and explored educational pathways. ππ¬
With aspirations to work with the disadvantaged in the criminal justice and prison systems, we look forward to seeing where Corrin's career leads and congratulate her on becoming CEF's 2022 joint Launching Star. ππ

Education changes lives. And families. And communities.
We see it every day in the work we are so fortunate to do at CEF. And we have such an incredible impact because of you. ππ
This year, over $2 million in direct financial support was provided to 653 to rural and regional students.
Hundreds more were assisted through online resources, mentoring, experience camps, peer support initiatives and by our amazing volunteers.
So as the sun sets on 2022, we thank you for helping us to support more rural and regional youth than ever. ππ€©

"I graduated high school in 2020 - the year of the Kangaroo Island bushfires - so year 12 began for all of us with loss, exhaustion and uncertainty. I am proud of myself and my friends for our resilience and drive to achieve despite the circumstances." π€π
Ayisha hasn't let a number of challenges slow her down.
With encouragement from The Kangaroo Island Education Fund, Ayisha is completing a Bachelor of Clinical Science/Doctor of Medicine at @flindersuniversity. Having come from a regional area, Ayisha is no stranger to the barriers rural and regional students face. This understanding has led her to become a part of the executive committee for the Flinders University Rural Health Society, acting to connect with rural high school students and assist students in preparing for their tertiary education. ππ©ββοΈ
Ayisha Fearnside has faced these challenges with strength. Not only is she well on her way to becoming a doctor, she has found a way to help others who might not feel like they βfitβ to feel supported and encouraged. This rising above is the very reason she was named our 2022 Rising Star. π€©π

We all can fall into the trap of thinking we need to have things figured out every step of the way.... All the time.
Heidi from Temora reminds us that isn't the case at all... Change and discovery are some of the most exciting and rewarding things that can happen in life. π π
And the best part of this one? Well, that is simple. Never stop learning! ππ
Can you find time today to learn or discover something new??

The numbers have been tallied... And once again, you have answered the call! π€©π
