Thanks to the vision of a Year 5 student, Antonia, the Primary school held its first chess tournament this week.
A staggering 64 students, from Year 1 to Year 6 took part in the competition. This was organised and run by an Action Team comprised of Antonia, Yejun and David with the support and guidance of our chess expert and peripatetic chess teacher, Simon Marcu.
Today we held the semi-final followed by the nail-biting final between Gergo in Year 5 and Tiantong in Year 3. Congratulations go to our winner Gergo and our runners up, Tiantong in Year 3, Lori in Year 4 and Hanze in Year 3.
