ASH Barty returned to her school days when she conducted a reading event for young students as part of the Festival of Learning in Springfield recently.
Ash was a student at Springfield’s Woodcrest State College when she began a remarkable tennis career that included victories at Wimbledon and the Australian Open and the World No.1 ranking.
She is now retired and enjoying her first months as a new mum but took part in one of the many activities for the Festival of Learning, which is run by the Greater Springfield Learning Coalition (GSLC) that includes 11 schools in the Ipswich area.
She read one of her Little Ash books to students from Prep to Year 2 at Springfield Central State School in an event livestreamed to all GSLC schools.
