All Schools Team

Ella was recently selected in the ACT All Schools Athletics Team to compete in Adelaide in early December. We are all very proud and excited for her however the selection has cause some chaos. You see, our family is booked to travel to Perth for Xmas leaving Canberra in early December for a month long holiday! The other complication is that our family has planned a two week tour of the SW - leaving in a camper van soon after our arrival in Perth!

Ella is determined to go to the competitions and normally she would travel with the team. However thanks to covid, this year the athletes are require to make their own arrangements. At first we thought she could travel with one of her cousins - unfortunately one didn't make the team and other made the team but has chosen not to compete. Thankfully Nana came to the rescue and kindly offered to accompany Ella to Adelaide.

Thus we have rescheduled her flights and Nana's flight and sorted out accomodation in Adelaide. Once the competition has finished, Ella will fly unaccompanied to Perth where Grandad will pick her up from the airport. She'll sleep at the Grandies house for a night before returning to the airport to catch a flight to Esperance where we will collect her. Life is so complicated!!

Anyway the upshot of being selected is that Ella continues to focus on her training and athletics. It's lovely to see that she has the confident at Little aths to help coach the little ones.
