Learn to be a chess champion!
Coaching for students at Macgregor Primary School (ACT) is held on Mondays from 8:00am to 8:55am, starting on 9 February 2026.
Learning and playing chess help children develop their logical thinking and problem solving
skills, improves their concentration and focus, while also being a great source of enjoyment.
Activities include group lessons on a demonstration chess board or interactive whiteboard,
puzzle solving and fun practice games.
Students earn merit awards by making checkmates, or by displaying skills and positive
qualities, which all good chess players strive to develop.
Each student in the Chess program will also receive access to Chess Squad
https://www.chesssquad.com/ which is an online teaching/playing platform.
If your child is interested in taking part in the class, please email
office.sydneyacademy@gmail.com for an enrolment form. For all enquiries, please contact
Sydney Academy of Chess on (02) 9745 1170.
