Jace Swan, Tayte Duncan-Tighe, Darcy Brazel and Ben DiDonna were all selected in the under-12s side, while Jamie Knox-Greenaway made the under-13s.
In league tag, Kelinyaar Munro-Smith and Kiarnah Randall were picked in the under-14s, with Kasinda Porter and Minya Paton Knox making the under-16s team.
The boys teams were selected back in April, with the league tag sides sorted in May, before all sides took on their Group 2 counterparts in trial matches on May 26.
The boys were unable to get a win on the day, with under-12s suffering a narrow 22-18 loss while the under-13s went down 48-6.
The girls enjoyed a successful day, with the under-14s league tag earning a hard fought 14-4 victory before the under-16s capped it off with a big 28-4 win.

Moree Junior Rugby League Club president Brett Brazel said it's great to see a lot of Moree players being recognised.
"It's a big effort," he said.
"We've got pretty good numbers in registration and it just goes to show there's plenty of depth in the town.
"To have nine younger kids in the development squads, it's a massive effort.
"The 14s and 15s (boys) have their trials in the coming weeks and with a bit of luck we'll get a few more in those age groups."
Brazel said there's a lot more Moree players picked compared to previous years.
"Last year we didn't have any boys in the 12s and this year is the first year the girls have taken on the representative concept," he said.
They now look ahead to their trial matches against Group 4 in Bingara on June 30 before they compete in a gala day in Denman against Group 4, Group 2 and the Hunter in the school holidays.
