Ask our Chess players

Last month, fourteen eager students from Cecil Hills High School set out to Girraween High School for a fantastic day of chess at the Inter-School Chess Tournament. 

Playing seven rounds of intense matches, each student displayed remarkable sportsmanship in the face of tough competition. There were some stand-out performances by Noor Azeem, Bao Nguyen, Terry Su and Dylan Luu, but I witnessed every student improve their confidence and chess dramatically. 

The mentality of "I can improve!" was fresh and dense in the air and there wasn't a moment where I wasn't proud of both surprise victories and close losses from our students.

Congratulations to all who participated, you've made Cecil Hills High School proud!​​​
