So good time to give back in light of that as well.
Matt Constable- yeah Thank you that's right, so I mean at this time of year, we welcome both.
Matt Constable- forms of giving so people who'd like to give us a one off contribution of Christmas that's great but equally sponsoring a child's a terrific way to give back I do it.
Matt Constable- I support a Smith family child and what it means is you make a monthly pledge.
Matt Constable- And that monthly contribution goes towards those those things that i've mentioned before the you know the physical buying physical things supporting a worker and access to programs.
Andrew Mashman- And the great thing is that you get information back on that child and their progress over the course of their education and you know we've got.
Andrew Mashman- As I said, about 60,000 children in the sponsorship program many Australian supporting.
Andrew Mashman- Those children and young people and we've got many supporters who've been effectively supporting a child over their whole education experience from starting in kinder right through to university.
And it's an incredible relationship that gets developed.
But what our donors talk about is just the sense of legacy that they're creating in helping a young person get the best footing of life, which is a good education, empowers them to have more choices in life.
And that's one of the ways that you can break this cycle of disadvantage that too many young children
and students face in Australia.
Yeah, measurement's really important to us.
We're conscious of the investment that Australians make in our work and we want to do the best we can for students and families.
So we're absolutely focused on ensuring that the work that we do is supported by evidence, proven practice and the like, and that all of our programs ensure that young people are attending school, they're advancing through school, they complete school, and when they leave school, they're in further education or employment.
So we're able to measure that and benchmark it the whole way through.
And just to give you an insight into that as one measure, 80% of the young people that we support, which are all disadvantaged young people,
are in further education or employment post-school.
And in part, we're a significant contributor to that.
So evidence and measurement matters, just like investment.
