Chess is a strategic game where students use logic and advanced thinking. In Term 1 students are given chess coaching lessons from chess wizz Mrs Meinel. During Term 2 and 3 students utilize skills taught to improve their game, undergo various online and in person classes with an emphasis on strategy and working with others. Students who consistently attend and participate actively in chess meetings will have the opportunity to compete in at least one Interschool chess tournament. A large outdoor chess set has enabled students to play during lunchtimes and understand a different 'perspective' to chess.
Chess Meetings are held once a week in an airconditioned classroom during lunchtime with full access to chess sets both online and physical.
Where possible, students should take personal responsibility for advance notification of absence from a practice or session by emailing the teacher with an appropriate explanation.
Additional notification from the parent is always appreciated but we like the students to take responsibility in the first instance.
