Chess Club
Congratulations to our Chess Team who travelled to Geelong last week and competed strongly winning the day by 3 points. James and Dan have given us a snapshot of the day:
On Thursday last week we travelled to Geelong to participate in a chess tournament at Geelong Christian College.
The Buninyong team won by three points, beating all of the primary and middle school players. We all got gold medals and a humongous trophy for the school. Everyone scored over three points and our best player, Dan, won all of his games. We qualified for the state championships which means we can bring 8 players to the championships. We are also looking for more people to join the chess club which will running Thursday lunchtimes in Term 2.
Congratulations – James, Andrew, Dan, Matilda, Thomas and Ned
Thanks to Nadia Smyth for organising the team and getting them to Geelong safely – your support is appreciated.
CHESS DEMONSTRATION
On Thursday, Rob Bailey, our chess coach of 13 years will be providing a demonstration game in the courtyard at lunchtime. Students are encouraged to come along and watch. If any students are interested in joining the Buninyong Chess coaching program they can collect an information/registration form on the day.

Burpee Challenge for the Royal Children’s Hospital
Mr Wilson and the Buninyong CrossFit members are attempting to beat our last fundraising effort of $8600 for the Royal Children’s Hospital. In conjunction with the Making a Difference Gala Ball we are again raising funds for the Royal Children Hospital Cardiac and Oncology wards. To assist us with reaching our goal of $10,000 simply choose how many Burpees you wish to buy, sponsor one of our members and donate. All money goes directly to the hospital via the everydayhero website. You will be emailed a tax deductable receipt for your donation.
On May 5 2018, we will complete 1 burpee for every $1 raised. All money raised and donated needs to be paid via everyday hero by May 12 2018. Buninyong CrossFit will then present a cheque to the RCH the Making a Difference Gala Ball in Ballarat on May 26 2018. Help us complete 10,000 Burpees for this great cause!
This is a cause very close to Mr Wilson’s heart with his own son Harvey having 4 rounds of heart surgery from birth to the age of 4. Mr Wilson has set a target of 700 burpees to be completed in a couple of hours so if you can assist him reaching his goal and that of the Buninyong Crossfit Team, please log on to the link below and show your support.
