The book lists for 2019 student requirements are now available on the Cranbourne East SC website – Textbooks and Stationery. Printed copies of the book lists are available at Reception if you are unable to access the online version.

CHESS CLUB
In Cranbourne East Secondary College, we believe that we uphold one of the best chess clubs in Victoria. Our beautiful supervisor, Miss Banaag, encourages us to practice whilst maintaining our genuine enjoyment of the game. Miss Banaag also organizes yearly competitions for us to compete against other students, who we may or may not have played against before. It is a great opportunity for students to get to socialise, experience competitive chess and gain confidence.
At chess club, there are occasional new faces that appear, new to the game and oblivious to the rules of chess. As students that play chess and know the core mechanics of the game, we help them to learn the concept of the game. It is usually the friends of the newcomer that teach the game; however, everyone is willing to help. Newcomers are conventionally taught by the means of a basic game of chess; as well as having the roles of the pieces and the objective kindly explained to them.
During the school year, chess club normally holds a chess tournament to determine the best chess player in the school. This normally lasts around a year, however sometimes longer. This commonly starts with all the participants pairing up with one another to play a game of chess, afterwards, the winner writes their name on a sheet of paper, informing Miss Banaag that they have won. Miss Banaag then randomly pairs us up with other students and place us all on a table to find the winner of another match until there is only one that remains.
At chess club, we have fun and enjoyment throughout our time there, therefore, we all encourage other students start coming to chess club.

2018-The Mathematics Maths Dash Champion
Wednesday 19th September
Maths Dash is a 100-question challenge involving multiplication facts or doubling and halving facts. Students at Cranbourne East Secondary School participate in Maths Dash challenges regularly in their Years 7 to 10 Mathematics classes.
Some VCE classes also participate. At the end of Term 3, the Mathematics teachers were
asked to nominate their fastest ‘Maths Dash” students to compete for the 2018-Annual Maths Dash Champion of Cranbourne East Secondary School title.
The students met in the LRC for this competition. Even a few teachers tried out!
They had a maximum of 6 minutes to complete as many of the 100 questions correctly as possible.
The winner was decided by looking at the number of correct answers and the time taken to complete them. This year’s winner completed the 100-question Maths Dash in 1:41seconds.
Congratulations to Emil Thomas of 8G, our 2018 Math’s Dash champion.
