Pakenham Secondary College
PSC Joint Regional Chess Champions
On Wednesday, 27 May, our PSC Chess Club students participated in a Regional Chess Tournament organised by our Library Technician, Gabriel Scheepers, in partnership with the Northern Star Chess organisation. We were thrilled to welcome 60 students from nine schools to our College for the competition.
Our Chess team performed exceptionally well throughout the day, demonstrating impressive strategy and sportsmanship across every round. Their efforts resulted in PSC being crowned Joint Regional Chess Champions alongside Mentone Grammar. Beaconhills College finished in second place, with Lakeside College placing third.
Our students also achieved excellent individual results, with gold medals for Sinsarut 'Q' Chitkanwong, Kanijigan M and Darren Chow. Mia E was awarded the Girls Silver Medal and Patrick Aoun received the Bronze medal.
Hrishav Ghimire and Brad Walker also received Credit Certificates.
Congratulations to all of our competitors for their fantastic efforts and contribution to this outstanding achievement.
