CHESS day

On Friday the 8th of November we invited some amazing people into our school for our chess tournament.

We were honoured to have the Australian Chess Grandmaster Zhao Zong-Yuan attend and play chess with our students.  Along with Yuan came a film crew and a Chess documentary organiser Anne Powers. Some of our students were interviewed for the documentary. Further details about the release of the documentary are yet to come, but we will share the details with our families once we have further information.

Students were also excited to meet footy stars Jamie Chapman and Brad Fitler. Jamie travelled down for the Gold Coast and Brad from Sydney to attend this day with our students. 

Our local Police and Fire & Rescue staff also attended and were challanged by our students in Chess.

All of our visitors were welcomed by a smoking ceremony and welcome to country in our yarning circle with some of our elders present.

A big thank you to Miss Mel for organising this fun day for our school.
