Congratulations to our School Chess Representatives!

On Friday 17 May 2019, Ms Djordjevic and I took eight Nicho students - Darcy, Meiji, Meera, Oliver, Branson, Beau, Dylan and Charlie - to the local Sydney heats of the Interschool Chess Challenge. Monte Sant' Angelo Mercy College, North Sydney, hosted the tournament.

I am so proud of our students' performance and behaviour. They were exemplary Nicho role models! All students tried their best, were very humble in victory and very gracious in defeat.

All students each played seven chess games with a mixture of wins, losses and some stalemates. The competition was very intense with over 150 students from many Sydney schools competing.

Overall we placed just outside the top three schools. All of the students had a wonderful time and learnt some very valuable strategies that they will put into place during our weekly lunchtime chess club and at next year's competition.
