13 students - Cian, Daniel, Dylan, Finn, Halle, Harry, Jackson, Jake, Maggie, Micah, Nathan, Nicholas & Sebastian - competed at the Southern Zone interschool chess tournament.   It was very exciting for Dylan, Halle and Harry who were competing in their first interschool tournament.

6 schools and 55 students took part, and the Coro team did exceptionally well, finishing in 2nd place, just 3 points away from the Gold Medal.   We had some excellent individual results, with Daniel our top placed player in 3rd overall with 6 wins from his 7 matches, and Sebastian, Nathan and Finn in equal 4^th with 5 wins.   Of our 13 students, 9 either equalled or set new tournament personal bests.

Congratulations to all of our players for representing our school so well. 

Huge thanks to Tara Goeing, Opal Greenwood & Jane General for assisting with transport and enabling our students to take part.   Without your help it would not have been possible to have our team compete.

The Chess Club continues to meet on Monday lunchtimes, and anyone is welcome to come along.  It would be great to see some new faces.
