Guard Lauren Nicholson and Fijian import Miliakere Koyamainavure were joined by coach Richard Dickel for the clinics, which covered everything from shooting to dribbling.
It followed on from a visit by the players to the school the previous week in the same capacity.
Dickel said they were happy to get more young people involved in the sport.
“Hopefully we can just put basketball out there and get the kids playing it a little better,” he said.
“The students were very excited to have some leading females in the community delivering what we have put in place.”
The Tornadoes were invited to Sacred Heart by year five student Alex Zegveld, who directly approached a couple of the players after a home game and suggested a shootout at the school.
Sacred Heart principal Brent Wilson said he was more than happy to oblige.
“It’s great to see a team with players who involve themselves in the community,” he said.
“These young ladies give both our male and female students something to aspire to with their work on and off the court.”
