Ashlee qualified for this event by competing at her school carnival, the Zone carnival in Armidale and the Regional carnival in Tamworth. Ashlee’s achievements at these events have been outstanding.

Ashlee achieved outstanding results and was awarded the Northern Tablelands District Award. She is one of only 70 students from the whole competition to receive a monetary prize.
