West Coast Fever shooters, Jhaniele Fowler and Beryl Friday have visited the Shooting Stars site at Narrogin Senior High School on Thursday.
As a joint initiative of Glass Jar Australia and Netball WA, the Narrogin Shooting Stars site commenced in 2018.
The program at Narrogin works with 35 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls in Years 7-10 engaging them in their education by using netball as one of the vehicles to promote health, wellbeing and school attendance.
Fowler and Friday spent their time helping the participants learn valuable skills and build their confidence, both in the classroom and out on the court.
Shooting Stars Executive Officer Fran Haintz stressed the importance of having strong female role models for young girls to look up to.
“Giving the girls the opportunity to be involved with female leaders in their industry exposes them to a variety of career opportunities and really encourages them to set life goals and strive to be the best versions of themselves,” said Haintz.
“We’re extremely lucky to have Jhaniele as a Shooting Stars Ambassador and a proud Indigenous woman like Beryl in the Fever environment, and for them to spend their day with our participants was something they will treasure for a long time.”
