Shooting Stars’ regional staff have travelled from all over the state to come together for a week-long intensive training program to plan for the year ahead in Perth.
Shooting Stars Greater WA Regional Manager, Latoya Bolton-Black said the annual training week is a great opportunity for the Shooting Stars staff to gain invaluable professional development.
“Whilst the training week gives us access to great skill development opportunities, it’s also a great time to reconnect with each other. As a team, we’re all remote so it’s good to refresh team spirit and ensure we are aligned in driving our programs with our values at the heart,” said Bolton- Black.
“There are a lot of different elements to the training week including, ensuring we are all confident in delivering the different Shooting Stars projects like Yarning Circles and Seven Sisters, learning best practice for our organisational tools to increase efficiency, making sure we are confident in meeting our governance requirements within the education department, and so much more,”
Whilst it’s a jam-packed week, Shooting Stars have managed to find some time to let out some steam in the annual Shooting Stars verse Netball WA staff netball match.
“This year we have our star player back on board, Fran Haintz! She’s our secret weapon to winning,” said Bolton-Black.
“Unfortunately, we haven’t had the chance to get together on the court in preparation for the match, but the passion is there, the rivalry is there and I’m pretty confident that Shooting Stars have got it in the bag this year.”
