Chess Competition

On the 5th June our stage 3 students participated in the New South Wales Primary School’s Chess Competition, for the Coffs Harbour Zone tournament. In the lead up to the competition the chess club students worked hard each week to develop and strengthen their chess skills. There were 142 students across the region who participated in the tournament held at Bishop Druitt College at Coffs Harbour. Our B grade team consisted of Martin, Rowan, Kaden and Archie. They achieved an amazing result of equal third! Our C grade team consisted of Lily, Ella, Shyliqua, Sonny and Reyon. They too achieved a fabulous result of fourth! Some of our students did not lose a game. With these results it is evident that St Mary's will have an A and B grade next year and will be fierce competition.

I would like to thank our participants for displaying their passion, skill, enthusiasm, teamwork and sportsmanship. You represented St Mary's with pride. Congratulations!
