Congratulations to the 25 students who participated in the Chess Competition hosted by St Catherine’s on Thursday, 30th May.This was the first time our students competed in a formal competition. Many had not experienced playing an unknown opponent using a timer. I was very proud of their efforts.

We entered a Senior (Yr 3-6 Students) and a Junior Team (Foundation -Year 1/2/3 students).

Our senior team place 4th out of 9 teams and our junior team placed 8th out of 9 teams.

Nicholas Stamatakos won an individual medal: Highest placed unranked player (8th out of 74 players)

Liam Carapeto won an individual medal: Highest ranking score for an unranked player

Ben Castrillon achieved an individual medal: Most successful Foundation student during the competition.

We are looking forward to competing in the Term 3 Interschool Chess Competition during Tem 3. The Term 3 competition will be hosted by Tucker Road Primary school on Wednesday, 4th September. More details to follow early next term. Please contact me if you have any questions.
