Auburn South Primary School
Victorian Primary Schools State Chess Semi-Finals
On October 20, Auburn South participated in the Victorian Primary Schools State Chess Semi-Finals. Throughout the year students have attended chess classes every week, participated in multiple qualifying tournaments against other schools and even a weekend workshop with an International Chess Master! In a first for ASPS, three teams (15 students) qualified and represented the school in the Semi-Finals, held by Chess Victoria in Glen Iris.
Well done to :
Team A : Owen B, Wenzi C, Luke L, Noah L and James X
Team B : Lucy L, Zaiden R, Stephen W, Tom W and Julian W
Team C : Oliver H, Zayn K, Elijah O, Aiden T and Henry W
Competing against 27 other teams, ASPS battled it out with schools such as Balwyn, Erasmus, Glen Waverly and Trinity Grammar.
It was really a feat of endurance going from game to game (7 in total) with minimal breaks and keeping their own and team spirits high.
Teams B & C really gave it their all and represented well against the high-quality competition you would expect at a state semi-final.
Team A performed strongly, placing 17th as a team and putting ASPS at 13th as a school. This is fantastic result for ASPS's first performance at a state level, especially given that the top 10 schools proceed to the final.
Thank you to all the parents for supporting the teams and especially the parent volunteers coordinating logistics and registrations.
