Our school Chess Team defeated Pacific Brook Christian School in the third round of the annual New South Wales Junior Chess League Country Knockout. Our team of Will L, Ryan P, Nate B, and Chase D played very well against a willing opposition. No doubt the healthy competition among our students for the limited places has improved the standard of our Chess Team. Social chess is played in the library every Tuesday. All students are welcome. 

The closing date for the Premier’s Reading Challenge (PRC) has been extended to Friday 19 September, which is Week Nine of Term Three. The PRC enables participants to experience quality literature from a range of authors and genres. Students need to read twenty books, including at least ten books from the prescribed PRC reading lists. Please email Mr Boyce on andrew.boyce@mn.catholic.edu.au if you have updated your PRC student reading log in the past two weeks.  

Finally, NRL Footy Tips need to be submitted into the library by 3.15pm on Thursday afternoons or emailed before the first game of the round kicks off. The competition is very intense,  with more participants signing up this year. A leaderboard is available for viewing in the junior fiction area of the library.
