The Coro Chess Club continues to run on Mondays at lunchtime in classroom 2M.  The Chess Club is free and is open to all ages and abilities.

Learning chess has many benefits, including improving memory, logic, planning, pattern matching, perspective and focus, as well as providing an opportunity for developing decision making, creativity and sportsmanship.

At the end of each term, the school has an opportunity to take part in Interschool Tournaments, with the Coro team competing against other schools in the southern area.  There is a fee for taking part, and competitors need to have mastered ‘check mate’ to take part.   The tournament for Term 1 will be held on Tuesday 6^th April (week 11) – consent forms will be available from Chess Club and Reception as of Monday 22nd February.
