Shooting Stars commenced in Narrogin at the start of 2018 in partnership with Narrogin Senior High School. Shooting Stars is targeting 25 girls in years 7-9. Our participants have enjoyed engaging with Latoya in our Shooting Stars room as well as being challenged in public speaking including leading the NAIDOC Week celebrations at school. Visits from West Coast Fever players has been a highlight for us so far!
During Term 2 2018, we were able to design a netball dress that we will wear when participating in Netball carnivals. The dress is our own and has our own story, the final design was by Dakoda Bolton-Black with inspirations and Ashanti Abraham.
The Flames represent our Netball – Like the flames, we are fierce in our game, we are quick, we are bold, we are determined and motivated. The Aboriginal Flag represents our heritage, our people, our identity…..US. The colours flow throughout the dress as it will always be a part of us. The Aboriginal design represents our meeting place. Our Shooting Stars Journey, our successes and our many pathways and opportunities to come.
We are very excited also to reveal our name to represent us as Shooting Stars Sisters, the Narrogin Wheatbelt Warriors. Warriors come in all shapes and sizes. The name signifies our individual strength, the will to battle on in times of struggles and the ability to continue improving in times of success. For many years our ancestors and families have come across obstacles. They have taught us to be resilient, courageous and to never give up. As the Narrogin Wheatbelt Warriors we will endeavour to continue on this tradition in our Shooting stars journey.
