We recently had 9 students take part in the Southern Zone interschool chess tournament, where 7 schools and 64 students took part.    Charlie, Cian, Dylan, Finn, Jackson, Maggie, Micah, Nathan & Sebastian did a fantastic job representing the school, finishing in 3rd place overall and picking up the bronze medal.

The whole team played very well, with 5 of our 9 students either equalling or beating their previous personal best scores.   Maggie, Sebastian and Nathan were our best performed players, all finishing in equal 7th place, winning 5 of their 7 games.   Special mention to Charlie who scored 3.5 in his very first tournament.

Huge thanks to Opal Greenwood & Marcus Read 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.
