Not that long ago—back around mid-2023—there were some hard conversations happening in our community about our young people.
There were worries and complaints, a feeling that maybe things were heading in the wrong direction.
But out here in Cookernup, in a small country community… we don’t give up on our kids.
We show up, We guide, We give them a place to feel welcome and belong.
And look at what’s come from that ❤️
What we’re seeing now in our young people is something pretty special—respect, growth, mateship, and a willingness to step up and have a go. They’re showing up for each other, for this community, and for themselves.
That’s what the CCA YEAH! Award is all about—recognising not just achievement, but effort, growth, and the kind of character that builds strong communities.
Nominations were open to everyone, and this year we received just one.
That nomination was for a group… and honestly, it couldn’t have been more fitting.
A huge, deeply heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS to our C U Next Tuesday Youth Group teens—our 2025 YEAH Award winners 👏
I nominated you because I’ve seen the change, seen the effort and shared the milestones. I’ve seen the way you’ve all grown into people this whole community can be proud of.
Next year, we’d love to see more nominations come through—because there are so many young people out there quietly doing good things that deserve to be recognised.
But for now… this is your moment 💛
And you’ve earned it.
We’re proud of you, I'm super proud of you!
Every single one of you ❤️ Jac :0*)
