JEMMA Green (Dunsborough Primary School), Jayson Bright (Geographe Primary School), and Aaron McFarlane (Busselton Primary School), have been selected to represent their respective schools and Western Australia in the School Sports Hockey National Championships in Newcastle, next month.
These talented hockey players travelled to Perth to try out for team selection. Having made selection, they’ve been travelling to Perth every week for training.
Players in the team, needed to be born in 1997. They have been selected from all over WA.
