Chess

On Monday, a number of students across Years 4-6 represented the College at the Sunshine Coast Schools Chess Tournament. All students played well and represented the College with pride and maturity. A special congratulations goes to Christian who placed first in the Open B division. In the teams divisions (which included over 20 teams in each division from Novice to Open A), Pacific achieved great results, which are detailed later in the newsletter. Thank you to Mr Scott Crompton and Mr Norm Stone for supervising and assisting students on the day.

As the popularity of chess continues to grow at the College, in Term 4 students will be offered the opportunity to participate in chess lessons after school on Tuesdays with Chess Mates. Following is a link to news feature that Channel 7 did on Chess Mates last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYnGPD1wjz0&t=2s.

Further details about Chess Mates will be forwarded to families next week.
