CHESS TOURNAMENT 

Congratulations to our wonderful chess competitors who competed on Wednesday in the Gold Coast South Chess Tournament held at Caningeraba State School.

 

More than 290 competitors from around the district faced off in a teams competition. Each player played 7 matches with points awarded to the winner of each match. Our school club sent along 10 competitors and have proven that they can compete at a high level.

 

Our two youngest players both from year 1 came away with wins during the day. Our sole year 2 player did her year level proud with many closely battled matches. Our 2 year 3 players showed the necessary skills during the day that with more experience they will win many more matches during the year.

 

Our more experienced players in years 4 – 6 proved they are very capable of playing well. Congratulations to Thomas in year 5 who finished the day in 5th spot and has now been invited to attend a youth development chess tournament this coming weekend.

 

A very special thankyou goes out to Mrs Goody and Mrs Harris who transported students to and from the venue. Another big thankyou goes to the parents who also transported their child/children to the venue giving them the opportunity to compete at a high level.

 

Chess Club is held every Friday in the Rainbow room starting at 8:00 am.
