Interschool Chess Tournament

We have had a fantastic day out at our second chess Tournament for the year at St Bridget's Primary School on the 25th of June.

With a whopping total of 12 fabulous Rangeview students, this has been by far the best attended chess tournament we have had in a very long time.  We welcomed seven new students to the team and we were very encouraged by some of the first-timer performances! We were also very impressed by the grit and determination demonstrated by all of our students throughout some very tough competition on the day.

Despite the gruelling challenges, our team still managed to place Rangeview 4th out of 8 participating schools. We have also managed to take home Gold for the Grade 3-4 category! The gold medal would have never happened if one of our students didn't manage to checkmate his opponent in the final round with only 4 seconds to spare on the clock!

This is the kind of mental toughness and resolve our students develop through chess competition.
