Former Helena Romanes School pupils Lisa Wooding and Chloe Rogers paid a visit to their old school ahead of flying out to China.

Lisa, 28 and Chloe, 23, visited schools in Great Dunmow and Takeley to give assembly presentations on their forthcoming adventure in China at the Beijing Olympics.

They talked to primary school pupils about how they had worked hard training at hockey to achieve their dream and their ambition to play at the Olympics, before speaking to a full hall of sports students at Helena Romanes School and Sixth Form Centre.

The pair are set to take on the best international hockey talent as part of the Great Britain hockey squad. 

"It's rare that two students go through the same school and are both going to compete at the Olympics," says Chloe.  "Some of our team colleagues on the British women's hockey team had found it unusual that both me and Lisa had gone to the same secondary school."
