IMAG1003On Tuesday 18 October our school was represented at the Sixth Annual Catholic Inter-Schools Chess Competition.  The teams left school at 7.50 a.m. as it took one hour to get across to Massey.

It was a long day.  They played six games each.

The A Team (Armand Spencer, Jayden Tee, Alex Filyaev, Jens Gade) took out sixth place in their division.

The B Team (Jonathan Chia, Antonie Smal, Benjamin Botting, Lucas Cooper) came first in their division.

Both teams say a big ‘thank you’ to Mr Cooper and Mrs Filyaev. “They looked after us really well and encouraged us to do our best.”
