The Country Education Foundation was front and centre on March 18, when students and staff at Coleambally Central School hosted a Boot Bash fundraiser.
They dressed on ‘flannies’ and their favourite shirts to help raise funds and awareness for the organisation’s work.
The Boot Bash is the CEF network's annual fundraiser, with proceeds allowing the group to support locals achieve their study and career goals.
This year alone, CEF Coleambally/Darlington Point has assisted 19 local students thanks to community fundraising and private and corporate donations.
The school’s Boot Bash event had both students and staff actively involved.
It was marked with a staff morning tea, generously provided by Miss Mannes and CEF Coly/DP, and a lively boot‑throwing competition at lunchtime, adding a fun community feel to the fundraising effort.
