GAMES CLUB

Chess Tournament and Connect 4 Championship

On 25th May, the Games Club held its Chess Tournament and Connect 4 Championship. It was a wonderful occasion with many students anxious to challenge the reigning “Grand Master” of Kew High Games Club, Connor Senn-Sangar.

Many students displayed strategies and knowledge well above their age. Connor won the day and retained his Grand Master title. He has held this title for the past three years. Connor said that it was a very close contest with Xavier Aitkin from 8G proving to be a fine contender.

The Connect 4 Championship was won by our Games Captain, Robert Garner.  Melissa Dalrymple from 7C almost snatched the title from Robert in a close and exciting finish.   

Fourteen students joined in the Chess Tournament and eight in the Connect 4 Championship. The contestants were cheered on, albeit quietly, by many other students.

The Games Club is run every Friday at lunch time. It is a technology-free zone with many board games and other activities.

Jigsaw Puzzle

Euian Kim and Sugi Kumpiranon, both of year 7A, spent several lunch times in Games Club creating this amazing 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle.

The puzzle pieces are small and with not very much contrast in colour, making it really difficult.  The Solar System came up beautifully.

The boys are to be congratulated for their persistence in working on this complex jigsaw.

The puzzle has since been dismantled waiting for the next student or group to take up the challenge. Great job Euian and Sugi!
