Chess coaching for all interested boys in Years 3-6 will be held this semester on Tuesdays from 1:00pm – 1:40pm in Mrs Forell’s room (3F – classroom ).  Experienced coaches from the Sydney Academy of Chess provide engaging, tailored lessons to the boys.

Term 1 lessons will commence on 19^th February, 2013 and it is never too late to join!  Learning and playing chess helps 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 an interactive whiteboard, puzzle solving and a weekly fun tournament with end-of-term prizes.  Students earn merit awards by making checkmates, or by displaying skills and positive qualities, which all good chess players strive to develop.

If your son is interested in taking part, you can either pick up an enrolment form from the chess notice board, or from Mrs Forell.

Chess Club takes place each Thursday from 1:15pm – 1:40pm in the Library.  It’s a great opportunity for boys to play social games of chess and practise the skills they have learnt on Tuesdays.  There is no charge for the club.
