25.01.2022 Best wishes to our 2020 HEF grant recipients (pic below) awaiting the results of their 1st year of uni and TAFE study, and to the 2021 HEF applicants interviewed last week and waiting to hear the outcome. Help us to help them through a tax deductible donation via our webpage. https://cef.org.au/foundations/hastings/. Donations over $20 by 10 Dec go into a draw to win a $100 Bunnings voucher. (Make sure to select ‘Hastings’.)

25.01.2022 Thanks for supporting our recent raffle. Winning tickets are now listed on our webpage and winners will hear from us soon. BUT WE’RE STILL SHORT OF OUR TARGET to support as many study grant applicants as we’d like in 2021. If you can help with a small TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION, please do so via our webpage. Donors of $20+ before 10 Dec have a chance to win a $100 voucher donated by Bunnings (Port Macquarie). https://cef.org.au/foundations/hastings/. Thanks, and please share.

22.01.2022 Hurry! If you’re interested in this 17 November golf day sign ups close tomorrow. Contact details below.

21.01.2022 Thanks to the Colab co-working space at Sovereign Hills Port Macquarie for hosting our 2021 student grant selection interviews. News shortly! Pictured below (l to r) are HEF Chair Jim O’Brien; Lewis Land Group CEO Matthew McCarron; HEF Student Coordinator Dr Julie McLeod, and Dylan Mason, 2020 recipient of HEF’s Lewis Land Group Sovereign Hills Continuing Education Scholarship.

20.01.2022 While country folk often lament the drift of their young to the cities, we rarely hear talk about listening to and tapping into their hopes and concerns. Listen here to Lee reflecting on hard times, climate change and the need to hear informed, concerned, future-focussed young voices from ‘the bush’.

18.01.2022 Our national body Country Education Foundation of Australia has some tips for HSC students everywhere today as they think about their results and next steps.

18.01.2022 After Jody and Patrick Carey came on board as HEF sponsors this year, Jody kindly helped us to re-write a draft feature we’d put together for FOCUS magazine. The result was fabulous! Listen to Jody share a few copywriting tips here, and maybe contact her if your firm needs copywriting services.

15.01.2022 What a wonderful milestone for tertiary education in our community! Congratulations to our first cohort of local Physiotherapy graduates, and to our long time HEF sponsor Charles Sturt University for its vision and commitment in establishing a successful university campus in Port Macquarie.

So if you donate $20 or more by 10 December now you have two chances to win a $100 voucher prize, either the one from Bunnings or this gift card that can be used at any of the more than 70 participating businesses across the Camden Haven. What a great gift!

03.01.2022 We at HEF and the young people we support are grateful for the support of our long-time and new sponsors.
