Country Education Foundation
of Orange and District

CEF Orange and District supports local youth to achieve their career aspirations through post-school education and training.

CEF Orange and District

Country Education Foundation of Orange and District was established to provide financial assistance and support to local youth to help them achieve their post-high school education, training and vocation aspirations. We recognise that the cost of rural students pursuing post high school goals is often much higher than those of their metropolitan counterparts and that sometimes these costs can be prohibitive.

CEF Orange and District fundraises throughout the year and accepts donations from local residents and businesses in order to provide financial grants to students who need an extra helping hand. The funds come directly from your local community – none of it is government funded – celebrating the aspirations of local youth and working to help them achieve these aspirations.

It is undoubtedly clear that Katie Walker has had a remarkable influence on the educational outcomes of regional youth over the past two decades. 😍

Since 2003, Katie has witnessed thousands of students from across rural and regional Australia access post school education and employment through our grants and scholarships as one of our founding Board members. 📜

Katie made the decision to step down from our Board late last year, with her resignation made official at our AGM earlier this month.

While it is sad to see Katie depart our Board, she is still continuing on as Secretary of @cef_yassvalley, and will continue supporting many more students locally there for a while yet. 💪

Read all about Katie's remarkable service to CEF and the difference she's made to so many young lives under Blog in our Linktree link in bio.

Congratulations to our student, Taj Elliot, who has been announced as our 2024 @vertoau - CEF Indigenous Scholarship recipient! 😍

Taj, who is supported by Hastings Education Fund, is studying a Cert III in Electrotechnology at @tafensw Port Macquarie, NSW.

Needing to purchase tools and equipment for his course, we're sure this money will go a long way to helping him and taking the financial pressure off! 💪

This scholarship, proudly supported by Verto, is awarded to one indigenous CEF-supported student each year studying in a VET course.

Whether it’s helping with social media, taking photos, working on a barbeque or being a committee member, our alumni have shown volunteering for CEF is fun, engaging and rewarding by giving their time and capability to our local CEF foundations. 💪

Our volunteers are everything to us, and in recognition of @volunteeringaustralia National Volunteer Week this week, we're celebrating how important our 430+ volunteers are. 😍

Some of them are also alumni that were supported by their local foundation to make the affordability of their studies possible, and as a token of gratitude, they are now CEF volunteers themselves!

Read all about three of them below- Lachie Barrett (@cefcoonamble and @cef_orangeanddistrict), Heather Walker (Country Education Foundation of Grenfell) and Brittany Glanville (Great Lakes Education Fund) 👇

Not many know the importance of supporting rural and regional youth like our alumnus Lachie Barrett does. ✔️

From his humble upbringing in Coonamble, western NSW, he was supported by @cefcoonamble which allowed him to complete his studies in education at @sydney_uni. 🤝

Now working as a teacher at @kinrosswolaroischool in Orange, NSW, he volunteers on the committee of @cef_orangeanddistrict. 💪

This week marks Volunteering Australia's National Volunteer Week - a week that celebrates the diverse passions and talents everyone brings to volunteering, with this year’s theme being ‘Something for Everyone’. 👏

Let's meet Lachie and find out how you can volunteer for a CEF local foundation 👉 https://cef.org.au/meet-cef-alumnus-and-volunteer-lachie-barrett
