Emily might have turned 12 last week but she’s still our little girl, so it wasn’t easy to wave goodbye at the airport on Saturday.
She headed off with her classmates and students from two other local schools for a five hour flight to begin a week long trip to Sydney and Canberra.
I think they’re visiting Toronga Zoo today. Yesterday it was Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Tower. Within the next few days she’ll be visiting Federal Parliament in Canberra as well as lots of other attractions.
The tour involves just over 100 Year 7 students and a group of teachers.
I know that they would have been well behaved but I really did feel for the other passengers on the flight. The looks on their faces were priceless as more and more excited children wandered into the departure area and the realisation hit them that they’d be on the same plane. I hope none of them were hoping for a quiet flight.
