Name: Ciana
Sponsor: Rob Cares and Supports

Are you of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander origin? Aboriginal

How long have you lived in the Clarence Valley and what makes it such a special
place to call home? Moved here in November 2024

What inspired you to nominate as a 2026 Junior Jacaranda candidate?
I thought it would be fun and I could meet new people.

What are some of the events you’re looking forward to participating in as a 2026 Junior Jacaranda candidate?
Bingo and the Music Trivia, I like music and find bingo entertaining, the Ball because I like to dress up in dresses and dance. And I am looking forward to all of the events for the
Jacaranda Festival.

As a 2026 Junior Jacaranda candidate, what are some personal goals you would like to achieve?
Improve my public speaking, getting comfortable talking to people I don’t know and selling over 7 books of raffle tickets.

What are some of your best memories from attending previous Grafton Jacaranda Festivals?
I had fun going on the Ferris Wheel and seeing everything from above. Walking through the markets with my friends and family and seeing all the different things people were selling because I find that interesting

What is your favourite event to attend during the Grafton Jacaranda Festival and why?
I have only lived in Grafton for 1 full Jacaranda Festival and I really enjoyed Illuminate at See Park, the lights were pretty and I liked watching the dances.

Should you receive the honour of being crowned during the 2026 Grafton Jacaranda Festival, which title will you choose, Junior King, Junior Queen, or Junior Ambassador?
Junior Queen

What would it mean to you to be crowned during the 2026 Grafton Jacaranda Festival, and how would you celebrate?
I would be excited, a little shocked and it would make me happy as this would mean that I would have achieved my goals. I would celebrate with my family and friends with dinner and games.

What words of encouragement would you share with other Clarence Valley youths who may be considering nominating as a Junior Jacaranda candidate one day?
Just give it a go, even if you are afraid or scared, you never know where it will take you and it will help you build your own confidence.

Officially introducing Ciana! 💜

Fun fact; Ciana is Rob and Sonja’s granddaughter, Caitlin’s niece and Liam’s cousin. Ciana’s “Aunty Cait” was the Jacaranda Princess in 2018, which makes watching Ciana grow and shine all the more special.✨

When we say family business, we mean it! 🥰

Come along to the Grafton Jacaranda Festival events and say hello to Ciana and the Rob Cares and Supports management team. Keep your eyes peeled as the excitement begins. 👀💜
